About our facade sealing in Ardlui
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Ardlui start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Ardlui is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we’re called out for in Ardlui
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For contractors building in or near Ardlui, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
FAQs: Ardlui
Can the mastic package for our job in Ardlui follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Ardlui outside your area?
Not at all. Ardlui is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facade sealing around Ardlui: points for this area
Building work in Ardlui comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Ardlui is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
A facade joint near Ardlui lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ardlui before they leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What you get with us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- CHAS accredited contractor

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
