Facade sealing in Polmont, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Polmont first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Polmont, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Work we carry out in Falkirk comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Polmont clients
Can you work at a site such as Inchyra Industrial Estate, by Polmont?
Yes. Our area takes in Polmont and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Inchyra Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Polmont off your patch?
Not at all. Polmont is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.

Related advice
Why act early in Polmont
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around smaller places like Polmont, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
When to call us in Polmont
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
For contractors at a college like SPS College, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Polmont, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing around Polmont: points for this area

When a school such as Graeme High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Falkirk Community Hospital (3.3 miles west of Polmont) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
