Facade sealing across Nethercraigs
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Facade sealing in Nethercraigs, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals run over old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, across cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Nethercraigs, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Contractors’ notes for Nethercraigs
Building work in Nethercraigs comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. A 2-mile radius around Nethercraigs takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
School extensions, at buildings such as Lourdes Secondary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Craigton Industrial Estate (1 mile north of Nethercraigs) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For contractors on a campus like University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus, 3.1 miles to the north-east of Nethercraigs, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why clients in Nethercraigs choose us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- One contact handling all your sites
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
Read how commercial sealant jobs are priced or our accreditations.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Ross Hall Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Do you work in Nethercraigs?
Yes. Sites across Nethercraigs are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Other services in Nethercraigs
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
