About our facade sealing in Craigie
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Craigie, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Craigie depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When to call us in Craigie
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Extensions at sites like Kirklandside Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north of Craigie, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs: Craigie
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kirklandside Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Craigie?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Craigie before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
