About our facade sealing in Wiston
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wiston tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Wiston, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
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 fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why us?

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Wiston, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
When to call us in Wiston
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.

- Damp patches beside frames after rain

Wiston: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Wiston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Wiston off your patch?
No. Places such as Wiston are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When can you be on site?
We’re 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.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
