About our facade sealing in Farr
Managing agents and owners in Farr ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Farr tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Farr is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Farr?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Farr too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Farr is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Farr before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How a job runs
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Farr. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Also in Farr
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
