Facade sealing in Kilchoan
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and draughts around frames and panels, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in Kilchoan, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites near smaller places like Kilchoan can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

New build and refits around Kilchoan
With the shore within about 1 mile, Kilchoan counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Kilchoan follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
On any site in or around Kilchoan, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Kilchoan is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Kilchoan can call on us for facade joints. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Kilchoan among them.

Close to Kilchoan, our area also takes in Tobermory (5 miles south), Baliscate (6 miles south), Acharacle (12 miles east), Ballygown (13 miles south) and Salen (14 miles south-east).

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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 else we do in Kilchoan
What affects the price in Kilchoan
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kilchoan
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kilchoan can form part of a wider programme.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Kilchoan: questions and answers
Is Kilchoan too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Our building in Kilchoan is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. 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 Kilchoan, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Common problems we fix in Kilchoan
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Hotels like Kilchoan House Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Kilchoan, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
