Facade sealing in Scotstounhill, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Scotstounhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. City jobs in Scotstounhill usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close

Common questions from Scotstounhill clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Gartnavel Royal Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Glasgow Garscube Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
