Back: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Western Isles Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Our building in Back is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Back
Managing agents and owners in Back ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Back first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Back 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: 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, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Back, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Facade sealing in Back: the local picture
Back sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Work on Back has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Drawings and the programme let us bring every sealant, primer and backing rod the package needs.
For contractors building in or near Back, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Back is about 6 miles north-east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Across the HS2 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar, large and small.
Postcode districts covered here: HS2 for facade joints. Among the streets we cover are Broadbay View, Rathad na Sgoile and Sraid na H-Eaglaise, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Nearby places we also cover include Sulaisiadar (5 miles south-east), Garrabost (5 miles south-east), Na h-Eileanan an Iar (5 miles south), Knock (5 miles south) and Aiginis (5 miles south). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Other landmarks nearby include Western Isles Hospital (5.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Loch Langavat.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

When to call us in Back
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Look out for the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Western Isles Hospital (5.4 miles south-west of Back), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings near Back, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why clients in Back choose us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
