Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Skye of Curr
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Most enquiries involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Skye of Curr, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites near smaller places like Skye of Curr can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Skye of Curr, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- 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
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Request a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
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, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Contractors’ notes for Skye of Curr
In Skye of Curr, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Skye of Curr gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.

Common questions from Skye of Curr clients
Is Skye of Curr too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Skye of Curr?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
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 seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Skye of Curr. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
