North Connel: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Lorn and Islands Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does the sea air around North Connel change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
About our facade sealing in North Connel
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in North Connel tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites near smaller places like North Connel can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around North Connel with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photos, 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 is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Common problems we fix in North Connel
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
For a contractor at a hotel such as Falls of Lora Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south-east of North Connel, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
