Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bundalloch
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bundalloch it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site around Bundalloch, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Facades, frames and programmes in Bundalloch
Bundalloch 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, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Projects in Bundalloch follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ardelve Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Bundalloch, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Work at a hotel such as Dornie Hotel (to the south-west of Bundalloch) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Bundalloch is in Highland. We send applicators to Bundalloch for facade joints. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Bundalloch among them.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Jobs near Bundalloch are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Bundalloch, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Bundalloch affect the sealant we need?
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 at a site such as Ardelve Industrial Estate, by Bundalloch?
Yes, sites like Ardelve Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bundalloch. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
