How we handle facade sealing in Sauchen
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sauchen? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site around Sauchen, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Common questions from Sauchen clients
Does your area include sites such as Kirkwood Business Park, near Sauchen?
Yes, sites like Kirkwood Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sauchen. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Sauchen?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
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, so we plan around the forecast.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Where we can, we combine work around Sauchen with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
What else we do in Sauchen
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
