Facade sealing in Geirinis, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have cold air coming in at window perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Geirinis first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
External sealing around Geirinis depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
New build and refits around Geirinis
Geirinis is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. The west of Scotland, where Geirinis is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
On any site in or around Geirinis, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Geirinis (Gaelic: Gerinish) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Across the HS8 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, 87 places are covered, Geirinis among them.
Postcode districts covered here: HS8 for facade joints. Buildings on Cille Bha'nain and Dun Mor are within our area. Nearby places we also cover include Creag Ghoraidh (4 miles north), Grimsay (5 miles north-east), Balivanich (8 miles north), Baile a' Mhanaich (8 miles north) and Dalabrog (13 miles south) for facade joints. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

Not far away are Loch Bee and Ben Tarbert.
Why deal with it now?
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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Geirinis. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts
Questions about Geirinis
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Geirinis?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Geirinis is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Geirinis, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Geirinis
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
A facade joint near Geirinis lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
