Facade sealing in Rigside
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are staining on stone next to old sealant and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. For commercial sealant work in Rigside, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site around Rigside, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What affects the price in Rigside
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Your questions answered
Is Rigside too far out for you?
No. Places such as Rigside are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Rigside?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, describe the access.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.

What else we do in Rigside
Do you need facade sealing in Rigside?
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
Look out for the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
On a healthcare site such as Lady Home Hospital (3.5 miles south-west of Rigside), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Mastic packages on Rigside sites
Rigside is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Rigside warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
On any site in or around Rigside, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a building near Rigside, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
