About our facade sealing in Bunnahabhain
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bunnahabhain, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Bunnahabhain, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Bunnahabhain, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Advice
FAQs: Bunnahabhain
Is Bunnahabhain too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Bunnahabhain affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.

Sites around Bunnahabhain get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Window perimeters and facade joints around Bunnahabhain need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
