Facade sealing for businesses in Burray Village
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Burray Village
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you are dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Burray Village, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Burray Village, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.

- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
Questions we are asked in Burray Village
Is Burray Village inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Burray Village. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Our building in Burray Village is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
