About our facade sealing in Cromarty
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Cromarty start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Cromarty, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we are asked in Cromarty
Does a coastal location like Cromarty 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 check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like County Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is Cromarty in your area?
Yes. Sites across Cromarty are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

Signs you need facade sealing in Cromarty
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Royal Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Cromarty, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Advice
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
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 you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Surface by surface
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.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Why act early in Cromarty
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. 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. For buildings near Cromarty, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
