About our facade sealing in Scalasaig
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and draughts around frames and panels, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Scalasaig, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
External sealing around Scalasaig depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scalasaig is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photographs, 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 and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Facade sealing around Scalasaig: how the place shapes the job
Scalasaig 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, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scalasaig is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Colonsay Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Scalasaig, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. For contractors building in or near Scalasaig, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
Questions about Scalasaig
Our building in Scalasaig is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Scalasaig too far out for you?
Not at all. Scalasaig is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Quoting for work in Scalasaig
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
