Facade sealing in Munlochy, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Whoever orders the work in Munlochy, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
External sealing around Munlochy depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
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.

What we are called out for in Munlochy
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hospital estates such as Royal Northern Infirmary, 5.7 miles south of Munlochy, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Munlochy, we aim for one trip, so photographs, 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

FAQs: Munlochy
Is Munlochy too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Northern Infirmary?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height

- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Mastic packages on Munlochy sites
Munlochy is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Projects in Munlochy follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Historic houses such as Old Allangrange House (1.9 miles south-west of Munlochy) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. 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. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
