Advice
Facade sealing in Stor
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Most enquiries from Stor start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Stor that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods

Facade sealing around Stor: points for this area
Stor sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. Stor is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
A facade joint near Stor lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish. On any site in or around Stor, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Stor (Gaelic: Stoer) is in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Stor. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Stor among them.
We take on facade joints across the IV27 postcode area. Sites close to Stor are covered too, including Stoer (1 mile south-west), Lochinver (5 miles south-east), An Druim Beag (5 miles north-east), Scourie More (11 miles north-east) and Scourie (12 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Stor: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Stor?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Stor change the choice of 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.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, and we build that into the programme.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Stor before they leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
