After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
How we handle facade sealing in Kinlochewe
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kinlochewe tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites near smaller places like Kinlochewe can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. For buildings near Kinlochewe, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building near Kinlochewe, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Facade sealing around Kinlochewe: what changes locally
The west of Scotland, where Kinlochewe is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days. Building work in Kinlochewe comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Hotels like Kinlochewe Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Kinlochewe) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Kinlochewe (Gaelic: Ceann Loch Iù) is in Highland. Anywhere in IV22, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 256 places in Highland.
Commercial sites across IV22 are covered for facade joints. Close to Kinlochewe, our area also takes in Torridon (9 miles south-west), Balnacra (10 miles south), Srath Carran (13 miles south), Achintee (14 miles south) and Shieldaig (14 miles south-west). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully.

What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in Kinlochewe?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Kinlochewe too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Signs you need facade sealing in Kinlochewe
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
On any site in or around Kinlochewe, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
