Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Facade sealing in Murieston, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. If you’re dealing with previous reseals run over old sealant and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Murieston, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Murieston can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.

Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions from Murieston clients
Is Brucefield Industrial Park, near Murieston, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Murieston and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Brucefield Industrial Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St. Ellen’s Private Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

Common problems we fix in Murieston
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Hospital estates such as St. Ellen’s Private Hospital, 1.4 miles to the north-west of Murieston, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
