Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Carloway
Carloway lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Carloway is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little.
Whatever the building in Carloway, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material. For premises around Carloway where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.

Quoting for work in Carloway
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Carloway
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Carloway. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Where frames meet the surrounding wall, sealant is the weather line. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Questions about Carloway
Does a coastal location like Carloway affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you take on a job in Carloway, on the island?
Yes, Carloway is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from handover. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
