Facade sealing in Exnaboe, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whoever orders the work in Exnaboe, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Exnaboe is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Exnaboe can form part of a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Exnaboe
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Doing it in-house
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Questions about Exnaboe
Is Exnaboe inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Exnaboe is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Does the sea air around Exnaboe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
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, so we plan around the forecast.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll agree the approach together.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

What the job involves on each surface
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 finished to throw water off the joint.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.

For contractors building in or near Exnaboe, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Around Exnaboe, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
