About our facade sealing in Arradoul
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Arradoul from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Arradoul that means watching the forecast. 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.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Building and refurbishing in Arradoul
With the shore within about 2 miles, Arradoul counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The east of Scotland, where Arradoul is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
Hospital estates such as Seafield Hospital (to the north of Arradoul) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. School extensions, at buildings such as Buckie High School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When a college such as Moray College UHI - Buckie Learning Centre, 1.9 miles north-east of Arradoul, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
Arradoul is about 1 mile south-west of Buckie, in Moray. We cover commercial sites throughout Arradoul, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Arradoul is one of 59 places we cover in Moray for facade joints. We also cover Aberdeen, around 47 miles from Arradoul.
Postcode districts covered here: AB56. We also cover Buckie (1 mile north-east), Portgordon (1 mile west), Ianstown (2 miles north-east), Rathven (2 miles north-east) and Portessie (2 miles north-east). Bigger towns within reach include Elgin (12 miles west), Lossiemouth (12 miles west), Keith (8 miles south), Ashgrove (12 miles west), Portknockie (5 miles north-east) and Cullen (6 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Local landmarks in Arradoul
Other landmarks nearby include Findochty Castle (3.4 miles north-east) and Seafield Hospital (0.7 miles north).
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Common questions from Arradoul clients
Can being near the sea in Arradoul affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is March Road Industrial Estate, near Arradoul, within your area?
Yes, sites like March Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Arradoul. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What affects the price in Arradoul
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why act early in Arradoul
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
