Facade sealing for Lochaline sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing in Lochaline, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. Most enquiries from Lochaline start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Lochaline, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What we’re called out for in Lochaline
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Look out for the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Work at a hotel such as Lochaline Hotel, less than half a mile to the south of Lochaline, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

Common questions from Lochaline clients
Can being near the sea in Lochaline affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Mull and Iona Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lochaline before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- One contact handling all your sites
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

Building and refurbishing in Lochaline
Lochaline is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Lochaline follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hospital estates such as Mull and Iona Community Hospital (to the south-east of Lochaline) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

What affects the price in Lochaline
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Lochaline, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
