About our facade sealing in Portnahaven
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Portnahaven tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Portnahaven, 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.
Work we carry out in Argyll and Bute comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Portnahaven are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Portnahaven. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions about Portnahaven
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Portnahaven?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Portnahaven off your patch?
Not at all. Portnahaven is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Portnahaven
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
For contractors building in or near Portnahaven, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
