Facade sealing for Kinlochmore sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Facade sealing in Kinlochmore, done properly
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, 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 shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kinlochmore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Kinlochmore that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common problems we fix in Kinlochmore
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
When units on a site such as Kinlochleven Business Park, less than half a mile to the south-east of Kinlochmore, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings near Kinlochmore, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Kinlochmore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
FAQs: Kinlochmore
Our building in Kinlochmore is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Kinlochmore, such as Kinlochleven Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Kinlochmore and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kinlochleven Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic packages on Kinlochmore sites
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Kinlochmore. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Kinlochmore is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Hotels like MacDonald Hotel, less than half a mile west of Kinlochmore, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
