About our facade sealing in Oxnam
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Oxnam it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Oxnam that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Oxnam
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Why act early in Oxnam
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- CHAS accredited

Questions we are asked in Oxnam

Do you take on multi-site work?

Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
When to call us in Oxnam
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Sites around Oxnam get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their public liability cover
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: 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.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Oxnam, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photos, 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
