Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lochinver
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Most enquiries involve staining on stone next to old sealant and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lochinver tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Lochinver is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs near Lochinver are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Lochinver, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Contractors’ notes for Lochinver
Lochinver 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, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Lochinver follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Sites around Lochinver get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Hotels like The Culag Hotel, 0.5 miles south of Lochinver, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
FAQs: Lochinver
Our building in Lochinver is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can the mastic package for our job in Lochinver follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are 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.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
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.
