About our facade sealing in Navidale
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and damp patches beside frames after rain, across window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Navidale, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Navidale, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

New build and refits around Navidale
Navidale sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. Navidale is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
For contractors building in or near Navidale, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Navidale House Hotel (less than half a mile south-east of Navidale), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Navidale is about 33 miles south of Thurso, in Highland. We cover Navidale and the rest of Highland, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Navidale is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
Postcode districts covered here: KW8 for facade joints. We also cover East Helmsdale (1 mile south-west), Berriedale (6 miles north-east), Dalchalm (10 miles south-west), Clynelish (11 miles south-west) and Balnabruich (11 miles north-east) for facade joints. Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.

Navidale: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Navidale change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Navidale?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Navidale. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
