Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Harray
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’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Harray, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Harray can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Harray as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Harray with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facade sealing around Harray: what changes locally
Harray is within about 2 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. For an island location such as Harray, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. With drawings and the programme in hand, the whole mastic package comes with us.
Sites around Harray get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Around Harray, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Anywhere in KW17, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 51 places across the Orkney Islands fall within our area, Harray among them.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in KW17 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Sites close to Harray are covered too, including Bimbister (1 mile south), Russland (1 mile west), Grimeston (2 miles south), Hourston (2 miles north-west) and Wasbister (3 miles south-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings near Harray, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Common questions from Harray clients
Does a coastal location like Harray affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Harray?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
How long will the new sealant 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
