On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Breasclete, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
About our facade sealing in Breasclete
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. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you have failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Breasclete it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Breasclete is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
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.

Signs you need facade sealing in Breasclete
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Water coming in around window frames
A facade joint near Breasclete lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs: Breasclete
Can the mastic package for our job in Breasclete follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does the sea air around Breasclete change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Breasclete can form part of a wider programme across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
