Facade sealing in Ardrishaig
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Facade sealing in Ardrishaig
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. For commercial sealant work in Ardrishaig, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Ardrishaig that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Ardrishaig
Commercial clients in Ardrishaig
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Share access with other external trades
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building near Ardrishaig, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits

When to call us in Ardrishaig
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
For contractors at a school such as Lochgilphead High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

- Who will actually carry out the work
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions answered
Our building in Ardrishaig is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
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 Ardrishaig off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
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.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Facade sealing around Ardrishaig: points for this area
Ardrishaig lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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 west of Scotland, where Ardrishaig is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Hotels like Argyll Arms Hotel, under half a mile east of Ardrishaig, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Argyll and Bute Hospital, which lies north-east of Ardrishaig, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Ardrishaig is about 27 miles west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Anywhere in PA30, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Argyll and Bute, 124 places are covered, Ardrishaig among them. We also cover Glasgow, some 47 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: PA30 and PA31 for facade joints. Streets here include East Bank Road, Hillview Terrace and Chalmers Street. If your building is just outside Ardrishaig, we cover Ceann Loch Gilb (2 miles north-east), Lochgilphead (2 miles north), Cairnbaan (3 miles north-west), Bridgend (5 miles north) and Kilmichael Glassary (5 miles north). 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 email a schedule or drawings.
