About our facade sealing in Torness
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and water coming in around window frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Torness first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Torness, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What affects the price in Torness
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs near Torness are often grouped with others in the same area, 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Contractors’ notes for Torness
Torness is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps. In Torness, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Torness need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish. Sites around Torness get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Questions we are asked in Torness
Which documents can you supply for work in Torness?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Torness?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Why act early in Torness
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Torness. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Public liability insurance in place
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Specification-led, product-correct work

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
