Common questions from Ardgay clients
Can being near the sea in Ardgay affect the sealant we need?
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.
Is a hospital such as Migdale Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ardgay
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you’re dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Ardgay, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
External sealing around Ardgay depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Ardgay, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Quoting for work in Ardgay
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ardgay before they leak.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Facade sealing around Ardgay: how the place shapes the job
Ardgay 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, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care.

The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Sites around Ardgay get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Migdale Hospital (1 mile north-east of Ardgay), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
