Your questions answered
Is Thorntonhall too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Thorntonhall is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hairmyres Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
How we handle facade sealing in Thorntonhall
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Thorntonhall. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you’re dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Thorntonhall start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Thorntonhall can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
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.

Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Why act early in Thorntonhall
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Thorntonhall is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
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 with backing and a facade-grade sealant.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
