Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Old Monkland
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Old Monkland from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Old Monkland, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Monkland 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.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Common questions from Old Monkland clients
Is Old Monkland too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Old Monkland is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like New Lanarkshire College - Coatbridge Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Old Monkland. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What happens if it’s left?
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 Old Monkland before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed before work starts

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
