Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Inverlochy
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Inverlochy, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Inverlochy depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
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.

Sites and facades in and around Inverlochy
Inverlochy lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Inverlochy has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Units on estates such as Fort William Retail Park (0.5 miles east of Inverlochy) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Lochaber High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Ben Nevis Hotel and Leisure Club, which lies east of Inverlochy, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Inverlochy is about 32 miles north-east of Oban, in Highland. Anywhere in PH33, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Inverlochy is one of 256 places we cover in Highland. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page, about 74 miles away.
If you need facade sealing in PH33, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Croft Road, North Road and Nevis Road are within our area for facade joints. We also cover Taobh Lochaidh (1 mile north), Fort William (1 mile south-west), Caol (1 mile north), Banbhaidh (1 mile north) and Corpach (2 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Around Inverlochy
Around Inverlochy, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Black Parks, Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar and The Great Glen pub.

A little further out are West Highland Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Inverlochy Castle Hotel (2 miles north-east).
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs near Inverlochy are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Questions we’re asked in Inverlochy
Would you work within a site like Belford Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Our building in Inverlochy is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. For buildings near Inverlochy, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- CHAS accredited contractor
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

What affects the price in Inverlochy
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Inverlochy can form part of a wider programme.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
