Can you send site paperwork?

Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How we handle facade sealing in Bridge of Allan
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is new sealant peeling off old mastic and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bridge of Allan first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Bridge of Allan is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Bridge of Allan before they leak.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
What we are called out for in Bridge of Allan
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
When units on a site such as Castle Business Park, 1.7 miles south of Bridge of Allan, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Bridge of Allan with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
