Facade sealing in Arinagour, done properly
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Most enquiries involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and patch repairs that keep failing, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Arinagour, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Arinagour depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Arinagour is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Mastic packages on Arinagour sites
Arinagour sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Arinagour follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Historic houses such as Breachacha House, 4.5 miles to the south-west of Arinagour, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Arinagour is in Argyll and Bute. Any commercial site in Arinagour is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Arinagour is one of 124 places in Argyll and Bute on our list for facade joints.

Arinagour: questions and answers
Our building in Arinagour is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Arinagour?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What we are called out for in Arinagour
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Coll Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Arinagour, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
