Facade sealing in Ardbrecknish, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Ardbrecknish, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site around Ardbrecknish, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What affects the price in Ardbrecknish
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Ardbrecknish, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Ardbrecknish: questions and answers
Is Ardbrecknish too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ardbrecknish are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which documents can you supply for work in Ardbrecknish?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Facade sealing around Ardbrecknish: what changes locally
In Ardbrecknish, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification. The west of Scotland, where Ardbrecknish is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
For contractors building in or near Ardbrecknish, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as Taychreggan Hotel, 1.3 miles west of Ardbrecknish, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ardbrecknish before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
