How we handle facade sealing in New Leeds
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover New Leeds? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like New Leeds that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around New Leeds, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree 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.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing in New Leeds: the local picture
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in New Leeds warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. New Leeds is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
For contractors building in or near New Leeds, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Window perimeters and facade joints around New Leeds need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
Questions we’re asked in New Leeds
What paperwork can you provide for a job in New Leeds?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is New Leeds too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
