Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Facade sealing in Galltair, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and facade joints cracked through the middle. Most enquiries from Galltair start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Galltair, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Galltair before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Colour options checked against the specified product

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
Signs you need facade sealing in Galltair
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
School extensions, at buildings such as Bernera School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Galltair: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Galltair?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Galltair change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Is Galltair in your area?
Yes. We cover Galltair, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Building and refurbishing in Galltair
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Galltair. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The west of Scotland, where Galltair is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Sites around Galltair get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
