About our facade sealing in Strontian
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, 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. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water coming in around window frames and patch repairs that keep failing. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Strontian is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Strontian that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every quote starts with the facts: 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.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For work around Strontian, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Strontian
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Sites around Strontian get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Building and refurbishing in Strontian
Strontian is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Building work in Strontian comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hotels like Strontian Hotel (to the south of Strontian) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Common questions from Strontian clients
Our building in Strontian is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Strontian outside your area?
Not at all. Strontian is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
