Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Strathpeffer
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water coming in around window frames and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Strathpeffer, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Strathpeffer 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need facade sealing in Strathpeffer?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Look out for the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Ross Memorial Hospital, 4.8 miles east of Strathpeffer, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Common questions from Strathpeffer clients
Can the mastic package for our job in Strathpeffer follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Strathpeffer off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
