Facade sealing in Craigton
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Craigton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
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.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Questions we’re asked in Craigton
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Craigton?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. Send details and photos, and we will quote to whoever is arranging it.
Is Craigton Industrial Estate, near Craigton, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Craigton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Craigton Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we will ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
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.
