About our facade sealing in Lochcarron
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is previous reseals run over old sealant and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lochcarron, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Lochcarron depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.

New build and refits around Lochcarron
With the shore within about 1 mile, Lochcarron counts as a coastal location. 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. Lochcarron is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
When a school such as Lochcarron School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lochcarron before they leak.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Your questions answered
Is Lochcarron too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lochcarron are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Lochcarron change the choice of sealant?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we’re called out for in Lochcarron
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Hotels like Lochcarron Hotel, under half a mile to the south of Lochcarron, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs near Lochcarron are often grouped with others in the same area, 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
