About our facade sealing in Ballifeary
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is water coming in around window frames and discoloured or dirty facade joints. For commercial sealant work in Ballifeary, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Ballifeary is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Ballifeary, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Facade sealing in Ballifeary: the local picture
Ballifeary sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Building work in Ballifeary comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Hotels like Ness Walk Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Ballifeary, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. New units and refits on sites such as Telford Retail Park, 1.1 miles north of Ballifeary, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors on a campus like University of the Highlands & Islands, which lies north-east of Ballifeary, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Ballifeary is about 1 mile west of Inverness, in Highland. Commercial clients in Ballifeary can call on us for facade joints. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Ballifeary among them.

Why act early in Ballifeary
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ballifeary. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
