How we handle facade sealing in Dunbeg
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Dunbeg. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dunbeg tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Dunbeg that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Dunbeg are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Common questions from Dunbeg clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lorn and Islands Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Our building in Dunbeg is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll tell you which.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
What we’re called out for in Dunbeg
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Hospital estates such as Lorn and Islands Hospital, 3.4 miles south of Dunbeg, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Sites and facades in and around Dunbeg
With the shore within about 1 mile, Dunbeg counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Dunbeg warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
For contractors building in or near Dunbeg, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dunbeg
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Dunbeg. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
