Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Inverarish affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Inverarish off your patch?
No. Places such as Inverarish are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
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.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Facade sealing in Inverarish, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and leaks at window and door perimeters, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Inverarish first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
External sealing around Inverarish depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Inverarish as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.

What else we do in Inverarish
Facades, frames and programmes in Inverarish
Inverarish 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, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Inverarish is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
For contractors building in or near Inverarish, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as Borodale House Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of Inverarish, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Inverarish is in Highland. Commercial clients in Inverarish can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. Inverarish is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout IV40, whatever the building. Streets here include Inverarish Terrace and School Park, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Nearby places we also cover include An t-Ollach (3 miles west), Portree (7 miles north-west), Corry (9 miles south-east), An t-Àth Leathann (10 miles south-east) and Blackpark (10 miles south-east) for facade joints.

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 early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings near Inverarish, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
