Facade sealing in Ganavan, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. 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, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals run over old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ganavan 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 Ganavan, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Ganavan as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
New build and refits around Ganavan
Ganavan lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Ganavan follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Work at a hotel such as Muthu Queens Oban Hotel (1.2 miles south of Ganavan) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors at a school such as Oban High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Extensions at sites like Lorn and Islands Hospital (to the south of Ganavan) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Ganavan, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Ganavan: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lorn and Islands Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Ganavan outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Ganavan can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
