Facade sealing in Holm, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Holm, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Holm is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Share access with other external trades
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Holm: questions and answers
Is Holm inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Holm is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western Isles Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Holm. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

New build and refits around Holm
Holm lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Holm is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Western Isles Hospital (2.5 miles north-west of Holm), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Units on estates such as Parkend Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Holm) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Holm is about 2 miles south-east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators travel to Holm for work on facade joints. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
