Your questions answered
Can you keep pace with our programme in Mochrum?
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.
Does a coastal location like Mochrum affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facade sealing in Mochrum, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Mochrum ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mochrum first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites near smaller places like Mochrum 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Facades, frames and programmes in Mochrum
With the shore within about 2 miles, Mochrum counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Mochrum warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Greenmantle Hotel, under half a mile south of Mochrum, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. On any site in or around Mochrum, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Mochrum is about 20 miles south-east of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. Looking for facade sealing in Mochrum? We can help. We work across 139 places in Dumfries and Galloway, large and small. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

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 easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mochrum
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Mochrum is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
