Common questions from Newbridge clients
Can you work at a site such as Irongray Business Park, by Newbridge?
Yes, sites like Irongray Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Newbridge. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Crichton University Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How we handle facade sealing in Newbridge
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newbridge tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Newbridge, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newbridge
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Newbridge before they leak.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Advice
Mastic packages on Newbridge sites
Being in the east of Scotland, Newbridge gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. In Newbridge, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
School extensions, at buildings such as Maxwelltown High School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Irongray Business Park (to the south-east of Newbridge) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor at a hotel such as Woodland House Hotel, under half a mile north-east of Newbridge, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
