Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
How we handle facade sealing in Arisaig
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water coming in around window frames and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Arisaig start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites near smaller places like Arisaig can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Arisaig as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

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. Around smaller places like Arisaig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Arisaig, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Building and refurbishing in Arisaig
Arisaig lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Being in the west of Scotland, Arisaig gets more rain than eastern areas. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Sites around Arisaig get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Work at a hotel such as Arisaig Hotel (to the south-west of Arisaig) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

FAQs: Arisaig
Is a smaller place like Arisaig outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the mastic package for our job in Arisaig follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
