About our facade sealing in Letham
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Letham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
External sealing around Letham depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What else we do in Letham
Building and refurbishing in Letham
Projects in Letham follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Letham is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
Hospital estates such as Perth Royal Infirmary, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Letham, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors at a school such as Perth High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

FAQs: Letham
Can you work at a site such as Broxden Business Park, by Letham?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Letham, Broxden Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Perth Royal Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we are called out for in Letham
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When units on a site such as Broxden Business Park (0.9 miles south of Letham) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
