Facade sealing in Cross, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cross first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Cross, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Quoting for work in Cross
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Facade sealing around Cross: how the place shapes the job
Cross sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Cross is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
On any site in or around Cross, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Around Cross, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
Cross (Gaelic: Cros) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout Cross, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Cross is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar for facade joints.

Cross: questions and answers
Can the mastic package for our job in Cross follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can being near the sea in Cross affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Do you cover Cross?
Yes. Cross falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings near Cross, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs near Cross are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
