Contractors’ notes for Rubha Ban
Rubha Ban is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Work on Rubha Ban has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. We need drawings and a programme early so materials come on the right crossing.
For contractors building in or near Rubha Ban, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Around Rubha Ban, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Rubha Ban can form part of a wider programme.

Common questions from Rubha Ban clients
Do you work on the island where Rubha Ban is?
Yes, Rubha Ban is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Does a coastal location like Rubha Ban affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photographs and we’ll price it, then clear it to your programme.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

Advice
Cost factors for mastic packages
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. If that happens, let us know.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
