Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Imeraval, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Colour agreed before work starts

Facade sealing in Imeraval, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Most enquiries involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Imeraval, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites near smaller places like Imeraval 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Quoting for work in Imeraval
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Imeraval affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Imeraval off your patch?
No. Places such as Imeraval are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Imeraval are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Building and refurbishing in Imeraval
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Imeraval. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Projects in Imeraval follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
When units on a site such as Port Ellen Business Park, 0.7 miles to the east of Imeraval, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What we’re called out for in Imeraval
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Sites around Imeraval get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they’ll work around occupants
