How we handle facade sealing in Cannich
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. Site teams most often ask us about failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Cannich? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Cannich is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Cannich
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Water coming in around window frames
Window perimeters and facade joints around Cannich need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

Contractors’ notes for Cannich
Cannich is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days. In Cannich, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Sites around Cannich get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around smaller places like Cannich, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Cannich is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions from Cannich clients
Is Cannich too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the mastic package for our job in Cannich follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
