Facade sealing in Caputh
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant on precast panel joints and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Caputh tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Caputh that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Caputh before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Related advice
When to call us in Caputh
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Window perimeters and facade joints around Caputh need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
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.
Questions we are asked in Caputh
Which documents can you supply for work in Caputh?
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 Caputh too far out for you?
Not at all. Caputh is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
