How we handle facade sealing in Rubha Ban
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant on precast panel joints and air leaks through failed facade joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Rubha Ban? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Rubha Ban is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Rubha Ban
Facades, frames and programmes in Rubha Ban
Rubha Ban lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. For an island location such as Rubha Ban, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Drawings and the programme let us bring every sealant, primer and backing rod the package needs.
Sites around Rubha Ban get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Common problems we fix in Rubha Ban
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Window perimeters and facade joints around Rubha Ban need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Rubha Ban, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Quoting for work in Rubha Ban
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rubha Ban
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings near Rubha Ban, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
