About our facade sealing in Drumbuie
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and facade joints cracked through the middle. For commercial sealant work in Drumbuie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
External sealing around Drumbuie depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to call us in Drumbuie
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For contractors at a school such as Lochalsh School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Quoting for work in Drumbuie
Before we quote, we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Drumbuie
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings near Drumbuie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Other services in Drumbuie
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: 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. Where we can, we combine work around Drumbuie with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Common questions from Drumbuie clients
Does a coastal location like Drumbuie affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Drumbuie?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Sites and facades in and around Drumbuie
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Drumbuie. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Drumbuie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Tingle Creek Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Drumbuie, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
