Facade sealing for Reiss sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Facade sealing in Reiss, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and air leaks through failed facade joints, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Reiss? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Reiss that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Reiss. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
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.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Lochshell Business Park, by Reiss?
Yes. Our area takes in Reiss and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Lochshell Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does the sea air around Reiss change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Facades, frames and programmes in Reiss
With the shore within about 2 miles, Reiss counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. In Reiss, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
On a healthcare site such as Caithness General Hospital (3.1 miles south-east of Reiss), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Lochshell Business Park (2 miles south-east of Reiss) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Reiss is about 16 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW1, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Reiss.
If you need facade sealing in KW1, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on Nordwall Park and Plover Place or close by, we can quote for facade joints. Access to Reiss is via the A99, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Sites close to Reiss are covered too, including Ackergillshore (2 miles east), Haster (2 miles south), Wick (3 miles south-east), Staxigoe (4 miles south-east) and Whiterow (4 miles south-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
