How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Strathaven, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Advice
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strathaven before they leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Facade sealing around Strathaven: how the place shapes the job
Building work in Strathaven comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Strathaven is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
When a school such as Strathaven Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as Strathaven Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Strathaven, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Extensions at sites like Stonehouse Hospital, 3 miles to the east of Strathaven, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Strathaven is about 6 miles south of Hamilton, in South Lanarkshire. Commercial clients in Strathaven use us for work on facade joints. 134 places across South Lanarkshire fall within our area, Strathaven among them. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, roughly 15 miles from Strathaven.

What affects the price in Strathaven
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stonehouse Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Strathaven?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
