Our Services
We excel in major construction and government infrastructure projects and provide a wide range of services to get the job done.
Caulking & Sealing
-
Tilt-up and precast concrete panels are common in modern construction and, when used alongside precast, can get a project completed faster. It’s important to ensure that joints between panels are properly sealed and that the right sealant is used and applied to the proper depths. This ensures a jobs success and overall endurance.
Don't risk water ingress issues with your building's structure post-build, as a result of sub-par caulking. Engage Top Gun Caulking, experts in precast caulking.
-
No matter what structural material you use, from blockwork to brickwork, we can provide the caulking services needed to finish off the job. We use the right formulations when working with joints and gaps in concrete or masonry so that the finished work will withstand the harshest of conditions.
-
The main purpose for caulking external window frames to a façade is to ensure that joints are impenetrable to water. Typically, we use a structural silicone that can last up to 15 years.
When it comes to internal window frames, we apply caulking to achieve a seamless finish. Top Gun Caulking can caulk window frames - internal and external - to any adjoining building material.
-
We appreciate bathrooms are often designed using luxurious and expensive materials, therefore special care is taken when caulking in bathrooms to ensure an immaculate and attractive aesthetic remains.
The importance of caulking wet areas is paramount to protect against the risk of water damage.
We use sanitary grade, mould resistant sealants in bathrooms and other similar wet areas.
-
In bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where water is present, it’s essential to protect walls, frames and other surfaces from moisture damage. We protect all splash back areas by accurately caulking and properly sealing using high quality products.
-
When properly applied, tile caulking should last a long time. When applied poorly it can delaminate. Poor application can lead to water penetration as well as an unsightly appearance.
Employing an experienced contractor makes all the difference. If you have an existing installation that requires updating, Top Gun Caulking can replace the caulk, improve function and return beauty to the space.
-
If you are installing bluestone or other natural stone, you will need an expert caulker to complete the job correctly. We will apply the highest-quality sealants with care and precision to ensure it blends in and does not cause unsightly staining. Our products are second to none and with application by an experienced hand you can be confident in a beautiful and consistent result.
-
If you have a pool or other permanently wet areas, you may require special caulking considerations. Pools need to be able to cope with extreme weather. They’re surrounding expansion joints must be working correctly to avoid cracks and deterioration.
Our team will accurately caulk joints to protect them from dirt or harsh chemicals that are often associated in these areas.
-
Glazing seal is important to stop glass panes from separating from their frame, while preventing water ingress. If glazing is not properly caulked, long-term problems can arise, such as rotting frames and broken glass. With attention to detail and a skilled hand, Top Gun Caulking can help you to avoid these problems.
-
As well as providing excellence in the field of caulking, we have an expert team who specialise in abseiling and rope access.

-
Alucobond is one of the most popular façade coverings used today as it has a high energy-efficiency and is fire-retardant. We can work with Alucobond as well as other cladding products to ensure they are correctly sealed after installation.
Concrete Grouting & Patching
-
Stitch plates are installed soon after precast panel installation. They join the precast panels together and require patching with a panel patch compound (similar to concrete). There is an art to patching stitch plates successfully, as you need to achieve a smooth and seamless finish so it blends in with the precast panel. When done poorly, patching can crack and fall out.
-
Similar to stitch plate patching, grout tubes (that are attached to the face of the precast panel) also require patching. This is normally done at the same time as the stitch plates.
-
Ferrule patching involves patching over bolt holes that remain in precast panels, once the precast installation process is complete.
-
Cracks can appear in any precast concrete panels due to water ingress. When this happens and the steel reinforced bars are exposed, they can rust and swell. This can cause chunks of concrete to come away, which can be dangerous to people and properties below. Top Gun caulking can expertly repair cracked concrete – using rope access if required – to ensure the site remains safe and protected.
-
A bed of grout must be installed on the horizontal underside of each precast panel. Typically, this is done prior to panel installation, but can also be "dry packed" post panel installation. We utilise a variety of grout strengths, depending on the projects engineering specifications.
-
Grout tubes are set inside the precast panels during the panel-making process. The experienced team at Top Gun Caulking can be engaged to pour grout into grout tubes without causing spillage or overflow. This avoids a messy clean up and contributes to a faster turnaround time.
