Quoting for work in Hogaland
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Facade sealing in Hogaland
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Hogaland. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is water coming in around window frames and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hogaland tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites near smaller places like Hogaland 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Shetland Islands. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hogaland
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings near Hogaland, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions we are asked in Hogaland
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Hogaland?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you work on the island where Hogaland is?
Yes, Hogaland is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, describe the access.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

For an island location such as Hogaland, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. We need drawings and a programme early so materials come on the right crossing.
Sites around Hogaland get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

What we’re called out for in Hogaland
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Water coming in around window frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Around Hogaland, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
