FAQs: Fearn
Is Fearn too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Fearn is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Our building in Fearn is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Facade sealing in Fearn
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, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you’re dealing with draughts around frames and panels and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Fearn first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Fearn, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Fearn, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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 goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Advice
Facade sealing in Fearn: the local picture
Fearn lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Fearn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
Hotels like Fearn Hotel (to the west of Fearn) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. New units and refits on sites such as Cadboll Industrial Estate (to the east of Fearn) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Fearn is about 13 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. If you are looking for facade sealing in Fearn, we can help, as we do across Highland. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Fearn among them. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, roughly 80 miles from Fearn.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout IV20, for business premises of every kind. We also cover Hill of Fearn (1 mile north-west), Loans of Tullich (1 mile south-east), Balintore (2 miles south-east), Shandwick (2 miles south-east) and Arabella (2 miles south-west) for facade joints. Bigger towns within reach include Nairn (13 miles south), Tain (5 miles north-west), Alness (12 miles south-west), Dornoch (8 miles north), Invergordon (10 miles south-west) and Fortrose (15 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Fearn

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
