Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs near Garelochhead are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. 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. If you’re dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Garelochhead 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.
Sites near smaller places like Garelochhead can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Garelochhead clients
Is a smaller place like Garelochhead outside your area?
No. Places such as Garelochhead are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the mastic package for our job in Garelochhead follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Mastic packages on Garelochhead sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Garelochhead counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Garelochhead is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Around Garelochhead, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. On any site in or around Garelochhead, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
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.

What else we do in Garelochhead
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. 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. Resealing early avoids that.
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.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
