Facade sealing for businesses in Scatness
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing in Scatness, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Scatness? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites near smaller places like Scatness can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

New build and refits around Scatness
Scatness is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Scatness warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Sites around Scatness get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Scatness is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Scatness use us for work on facade joints. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Scatness among them.
Commercial sites across ZE3 are covered. Among the streets we cover are Sanblister Place and Colonial Place. Nearby places we also cover include Toab (1 mile north), Exnaboe (1 mile north), Hestingott (1 mile north), Boddam (3 miles north) and South Scousburgh (4 miles north). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

Other landmarks nearby include Shetland Crofthouse Museum (2.8 miles north). Not far away are Sumburgh Head RSPB reserve and Loch of Huesbreck.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
When to call us in Scatness
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Sumburgh Hotel, which lies south-east of Scatness, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their public liability cover
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Your questions answered
Our building in Scatness 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 check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you work on the island where Scatness is?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Scatness. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you fit around our working hours?
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.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Scatness with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
