Facade sealing in Stenhouse
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
How we handle facade sealing in Stenhouse
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 facade joints cracked through the middle and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints alike. Most enquiries from Stenhouse start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Stenhouse
Can you work at a site such as Edinburgh West Retail Park, by Stenhouse?
Yes, sites like Edinburgh West Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Stenhouse. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Edinburgh Napier University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Mastic packages on Stenhouse sites
Stenhouse sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The east of Scotland, where Stenhouse is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Twin Lions Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north of Stenhouse, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Stenhouse, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Further education sites such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (1.2 miles west of Stenhouse) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Stenhouse is about 2 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Stenhouse use us for work on facade joints. Stenhouse is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh for facade joints.

What’s near Stenhouse
We work on buildings around Cross Keys Tavern, Gabrielle Keiller Library and Scotus Academy, among other places. Also close by are Merchiston Castle School (1.4 miles south) and Saughton Park (under half a mile east). The nearest railway station is Slateford station, roughly 0.8 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Corstorphine Hospital (0.8 miles north-west) and Craigcrook Castle (1.6 miles north). For a walk, there’s Craiglockhart Hill and Dunsapie Loch.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Getting access arranged for a building in Stenhouse takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
