How we handle facade sealing in New Luce
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing. Most enquiries from New Luce start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like New Luce that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Building owners, agents and FMs in New Luce
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why act early in New Luce
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around New Luce before they leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Questions about New Luce
Which documents can you supply for work in New Luce?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in New Luce?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like New Luce is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
