Facade sealing in Ardtun
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
About our facade sealing in Ardtun
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in Ardtun, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Ardtun that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: 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.

- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Ardtun
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Window perimeters and facade joints around Ardtun need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

Questions about Ardtun
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Ardtun?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Ardtun outside your area?
No. Places such as Ardtun are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
