How facade sealing works in Highland

We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Highland. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and damp patches beside frames after rain, across window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints.

Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
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.

Local landmarks in Inverness

Around Inverness, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Inverness, Cavell Gardens and Maple Court Hotel and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Inverness station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Inverness Castle (0.5 miles north) and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery (0.5 miles north). Not far away are Tomnahurich.

Sites and facades across Highland

We take on mastic packages across Highland, on large sites in places such as Inverness, Nairn and Thurso and small schemes elsewhere. Send drawings, the programme and your paperwork requirements, and we’ll confirm everything with the quote.

Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Highland includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Inverness: Building work at universities like University of the Highlands & Islands (to the north-west of Inverness) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. For a contractor at a hotel such as Maple Court Hotel, which lies west of Inverness, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Quoting for work in Highland

To price the job, we consider:

The product specified
Whether the work must be split into stages
The total length or number of joints
Whether old sealant has to be cut out first

The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Before you send an enquiry

However big the job, these details speed things up:

The asbestos register, for older buildings
Where the site is, with the postcode
Your programme or deadline
Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

What we’re called out for in Highland

Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
New sealant peeling off old mastic
Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip

Looking after the joints

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

Share access with other external trades
Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed

Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.

Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.

Owners, agents and contractors

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

General trades versus a specialist

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Highland clients

Do you work in Highland?

Yes. Highland falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.

Do you take on small jobs?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Is colour matching possible?

It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?

Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

How do you choose the sealant?

The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
