Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Inchree

External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Inchree first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Inchree that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Damaged frames that need replacing

If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Inchree

  • 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

What we are called out for in Inchree

Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Draughts around frames and panels
  • New sealant peeling off old mastic
  • Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
  • Facade joints cracked through the middle

New units and refits on sites such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles south-east of Inchree, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

What your quote should include

  • Their public liability cover
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Facades, frames and programmes in Inchree

Inchree sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Inchree is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.

Work at a hotel such as Onich Hotel (to the south of Inchree) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

On site: what to expect

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building near Inchree, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice

Doing it in-house

Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What the job involves on each surface

Precast concrete panels

Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.

Window and door perimeters

Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
