Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Woodside
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you are dealing with water coming in around window frames and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Woodside, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Woodside, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Common questions from Woodside clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Oakbank Industrial Estate, near Woodside, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Woodside, Oakbank Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Woodside, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out any areas we must not close

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodside
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Getting access arranged for a building in Woodside takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
