Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lìonal
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and facade joints cracked through the middle, across cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lìonal first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Lìonal that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Sites and facades in and around Lìonal
Lìonal lies within about 1 mile 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. For an island location such as Lìonal, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Drawings and the programme let us bring every sealant, primer and backing rod the package needs.
Sites around Lìonal get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. For contractors at a school such as Lionel School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Lìonal (Gaelic: Lionel) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Across the HS2 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Lìonal is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar on our list.

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

What else we do in Lìonal
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions we are asked in Lìonal
Can you keep pace with our programme in Lìonal?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Lìonal change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Lìonal in your area?
Yes. We cover Lìonal. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Lìonal with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
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.
