Facade sealing across Mid Yell
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How we handle facade sealing in Mid Yell
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have water coming in around window frames and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mid Yell from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a site around Mid Yell, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Mid Yell
Contractors’ notes for Mid Yell
Mid Yell is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Mid Yell is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give.
With historic properties like Windhouse, 1.8 miles to the north-west of Mid Yell, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as Mid Yell Junior High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Mid Yell is in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, including Mid Yell.
Postcode districts covered here: ZE2 for facade joints. For a building on Links House, Sunny Side and Burrapark or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Camb (1 mile north), Aywick (3 miles south), Houbie (7 miles east), Burravoe (7 miles south) and Clivocast (8 miles north-east) for facade joints. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Mid Yell. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Mid Yell can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Mid Yell: questions and answers
Can you take on a job in Mid Yell, on the island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Mid Yell. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Our building in Mid Yell is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mid Yell
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 now costs less than repairing interiors later. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Mid Yell. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
