Why act early in Caddonfoot
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Caddonfoot. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
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.

About our facade sealing in Caddonfoot
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. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and damp patches beside frames after rain, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Caddonfoot? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Caddonfoot 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames

- Coping and flashing joints
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Questions about Caddonfoot
Is a hospital such as Borders General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.

What we are called out for in Caddonfoot
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Clovenfords Hotel, 0.9 miles north of Caddonfoot, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
