About our facade sealing in Yorkhill
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 new sealant peeling off old mastic and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Yorkhill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. Our CSCS-carded applicators work to the site induction, the programme and the sequence of trades.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

- Colour agreed before work starts

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. City jobs in Yorkhill usually need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems

Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
