About our facade sealing in Stoer
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. The enquiries we see most involve water coming in around window frames and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stoer, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Stoer 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Stoer
Common problems we fix in Stoer
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
For contractors building in or near Stoer, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Where we can, we combine work around Stoer with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photos, 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Questions we’re asked in Stoer
Does a coastal location like Stoer affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Stoer outside your area?
No. Places such as Stoer are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Stoer, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Facades, frames and programmes in Stoer
Stoer lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Being in the west of Scotland, Stoer gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Stoer need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
