How we handle facade sealing in Shieldaig
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Shieldaig, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Shieldaig, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Shieldaig
What we’re called out for in Shieldaig
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
For contractors building in or near Shieldaig, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs near Shieldaig are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Questions we are asked in Shieldaig
Is Shieldaig off your patch?
Not at all. Shieldaig is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Shieldaig change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Sites and facades in and around Shieldaig
With the shore within about 1 mile, Shieldaig counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Shieldaig is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Tigh an Eilean Hotel, less than half a mile to the south-west of Shieldaig, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
