Facade sealing in Cullivoe
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Cullivoe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
External sealing around Cullivoe depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Commercial clients in Cullivoe
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Cullivoe can sit alongside others in a wider programme across the Shetland Islands.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in, tooled to shed water.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Cullivoe, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close

Mastic packages on Cullivoe sites
Cullivoe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. In Cullivoe, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For contractors building in or near Cullivoe, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Common problems we fix in Cullivoe
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
A facade joint near Cullivoe lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

FAQs: Cullivoe
Can being near the sea in Cullivoe affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you take on a job in Cullivoe, on the island?
Yes, Cullivoe is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
