Facade sealing for commercial buildings in North Lochs
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in North Lochs is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites near smaller places like North Lochs 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. North Lochs can form part of a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

How a job runs
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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like North Lochs is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out 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
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification

New build and refits around North Lochs
North Lochs lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The west of Scotland, where North Lochs is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Hospital estates such as Western Isles Hospital (to the north-east of North Lochs) 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. Sites around North Lochs get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
North Lochs is about 6 miles south-west of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. North Lochs sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places.

Nearby places we also cover include Crosbost (1 mile east), Liurbost (1 mile west), Lacasaidh (4 miles south-west), Marybank (5 miles north) and Stornoway (6 miles north-east) for facade joints.

Questions about North Lochs
Can you work on a hospital site such as Western Isles Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you take on a job in North Lochs, on the island?
Yes, North Lochs is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around North Lochs before they leak.
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.
