How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Westerton 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.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Facade sealing in Westerton, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and air leaks through failed facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Westerton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Westerton can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.

Common problems we fix in Westerton
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Hotels like Boclair House Hotel (to the north-east of Westerton) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Questions about Westerton
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Westerton, such as Anniesland Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Westerton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Anniesland Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will plan the work with you.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is any job too small?

Do you work in Westerton?
Yes. Sites across Westerton are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
