Facade sealing in Lochhill
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lochhill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites near smaller places like Lochhill can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Do you need facade sealing in Lochhill?
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
On a healthcare site such as Spynie Hospital, which lies west of Lochhill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their public liability cover
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

- Coping and flashing joints

What else we do in Lochhill
Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Lochhill affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a hospital such as Spynie Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
From enquiry to sign-off
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lochhill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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 the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Get the joint design right when resealing: 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.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Building and refurbishing in Lochhill
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lochhill. 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. In Lochhill, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Sites around Lochhill get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
