How we handle facade sealing in Copshaw Holm
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Copshaw Holm is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Copshaw Holm that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Copshaw Holm is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Copshaw Holm
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
