About our facade sealing in Applecross
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Applecross, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites near smaller places like Applecross can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Applecross
Applecross is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Applecross follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Sites around Applecross get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. A facade joint near Applecross lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

FAQs: Applecross
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Applecross?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Applecross is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work in Applecross?
Yes. Applecross falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Around smaller places like Applecross, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
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.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
