Facade sealing for Westrigg sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Quoting for work in Westrigg
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
About our facade sealing in Westrigg
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Westrigg, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Westrigg that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Westrigg as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tippethill Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Harthill Industrial Estate, by Westrigg?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Westrigg, Harthill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Westrigg
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, saving a second set-up. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Westrigg before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Building and refurbishing in Westrigg
The east of Scotland, where Westrigg is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Projects in Westrigg follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Tippethill Hospital, which lies east of Westrigg, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Harthill Industrial Estate (to the south of Westrigg) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. School extensions, at buildings such as Armadale Academy, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Westrigg. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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 is applied where the maker specifies 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
