Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Facade sealing in Port na Craig, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you are dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can help, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Port na Craig, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Port na Craig, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Port na Craig outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Pitlochry Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

Sites and facades in and around Port na Craig
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Port na Craig warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Port na Craig has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
New wings at hospitals like Pitlochry Community Hospital (to the north of Port na Craig) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a school such as Croftinloan School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Port na Craig. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we’re called out for in Port na Craig
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Work at a hotel such as Fonab Castle Hotel (to the west of Port na Craig) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
