Facade sealing in Broughtown
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broughtown from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites near smaller places like Broughtown can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Facades, frames and programmes in Broughtown
Broughtown is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Broughtown is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
For contractors building in or near Broughtown, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. A facade joint near Broughtown lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Broughtown is about 23 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Broughtown sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Commercial sites across KW17 are covered. Just outside Broughtown, we also work in Lady (2 miles east), Wardhill (10 miles south), Pierowall (14 miles west), Rackwick (14 miles west) and Brinian (16 miles south-west).

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs near Broughtown are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.

Advice
What else we do in Broughtown
Questions we’re asked in Broughtown
Will you travel to Broughtown on the island?
Yes, Broughtown is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Does the sea air around Broughtown change the choice of 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.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, 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.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Broughtown

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
