How we handle facade sealing in New Galloway
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in New Galloway, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites near smaller places like New Galloway can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Commercial clients in New Galloway

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near New Galloway. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Common questions from New Galloway clients
Is a smaller place like New Galloway outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near New Galloway?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Facades, frames and programmes in New Galloway
Projects in New Galloway follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the west of Scotland, New Galloway gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Cross Keys Hotel, which lies south of New Galloway, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors building in or near New Galloway, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
