About our facade sealing in Glencoe
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about cladding panel joints that have opened up and staining on stone next to old sealant, across cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Glencoe from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site around Glencoe, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Glencoe, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- 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.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Glencoe off your patch?
Not at all. Glencoe is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Glencoe affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Common problems we fix in Glencoe
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Units on estates such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles to the west of Glencoe, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Contractors’ notes for Glencoe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Glencoe counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Glencoe warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Work at a hotel such as Glencoe House Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Glencoe, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
