Advice

Facade sealing in Wellbank, done properly

Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wellbank tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Wellbank that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.

Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Common problems we fix in Wellbank

Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.

Look out for the following:

  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Draughts around frames and panels

For contractors refurbishing units at places like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the south of Wellbank, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What your quote should include

  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

How to choose a sealant contractor

Should maintenance staff do it?

Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Wellbank: questions and answers

Will you take on work at estates like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, close to Wellbank?

Yes, sites like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Wellbank. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is a smaller place like Wellbank outside your area?

No. Places such as Wellbank are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Will you come and look before quoting?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

Do you seal facades in winter?

Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.

Do you take on small jobs?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

What the job involves on each surface

Precast concrete panels

Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

Window and door perimeters

Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.

Cost factors for facade joints

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:

  • The product specified
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Distance, for remote addresses

The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Details that help us quote

To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:

  • Access details, including height
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • What the building is and how it’s used

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
