Facade sealing for Spittal sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Around smaller places like Spittal, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Facade sealing in Spittal
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Spittal, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Common questions from Spittal clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Spittal, such as Cathcart Court Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Cathcart Court Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Spittal. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Strathclyde?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Spittal
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
On a campus such as University of Strathclyde (3.2 miles north of Spittal), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Spittal, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
