New build and refits around Hestingott
Hestingott 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, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Island jobs, Hestingott among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. With drawings and the programme in hand, the whole mastic package comes with us.
Sites around Hestingott get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. A facade joint near Hestingott lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Hestingott is in the Shetland Islands. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Hestingott use us for work on facade joints. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, large and small.

How we handle facade sealing in Hestingott
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and draughts around frames and panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hestingott, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Hestingott 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.
Work we carry out in the Shetland Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. For buildings near Hestingott, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share access with other external trades
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job in Hestingott, on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Hestingott. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Does a coastal location like Hestingott affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hestingott is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send your site hours and access windows

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
