How we handle facade sealing in Netherton
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and damp patches beside frames after rain. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Netherton? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
External sealing around Netherton depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Netherton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Netherton can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facade sealing around Netherton: points for this area
Building work in Netherton comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Netherton. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (0.9 miles south of Netherton) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Further education sites such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Netherton, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor working at a hospital such as University Hospital Wishaw, less than half a mile north-east of Netherton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Netherton is about 1 mile south-west of Wishaw, in North Lanarkshire. Across the ML2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our North Lanarkshire coverage takes in 100 places. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.

Questions about Netherton
Could you schedule work at a campus like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as University Hospital Wishaw?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
