Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
About our facade sealing in Ackergillshore
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ackergillshore it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Ackergillshore, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Ackergillshore, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site

Common questions from Ackergillshore clients
Can being near the sea in Ackergillshore affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Ackergillshore too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Mastic packages on Ackergillshore sites
Ackergillshore is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Ackergillshore is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give.
Hospital estates such as Caithness General Hospital, 2.2 miles to the south of Ackergillshore, 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. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Lochshell Business Park (to the south of Ackergillshore) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Projects at schools like Wick High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Ackergillshore is about 17 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Ackergillshore can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in KW1 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. We also cover Reiss (2 miles west), Staxigoe (2 miles south-east), Wick (2 miles south), Haster (3 miles south-west) and Whiterow (3 miles south) for facade joints. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Local landmarks in Ackergillshore
The nearest railway station is Wick station, roughly 2.1 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Castle Sinclair Girnigoe (1.3 miles east) and Wick Heritage Museum (2.3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Loch of Killimster.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Ackergillshore, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
