Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
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.
How we handle facade sealing in Kilbeg
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have water coming in around window frames and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Kilbeg start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Kilbeg can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What we’re called out for in Kilbeg
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Around Kilbeg, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
New build and refits around Kilbeg
Kilbeg sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. In Kilbeg, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Sites around Kilbeg get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For a building near Kilbeg, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Kilbeg clients
Is Kilbeg off your patch?
No. Places such as Kilbeg are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Kilbeg?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
