How we handle facade sealing in Taobh Lochaidh
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Taobh Lochaidh. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are facade joints cracked through the middle and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Taobh Lochaidh tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites near smaller places like Taobh Lochaidh can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Why act early in Taobh Lochaidh
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Taobh Lochaidh. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When to call us in Taobh Lochaidh
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Blar Mhor Industrial Estate, under half a mile north-east of Taobh Lochaidh, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What to look for in a quote
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Proof of insurance
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
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.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Taobh Lochaidh with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing around Taobh Lochaidh: what changes locally
Taobh Lochaidh is within about 2 miles of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Taobh Lochaidh is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Extensions at sites like Belford Hospital, 1.4 miles south-west of Taobh Lochaidh, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as Ben Nevis Hotel and Leisure Club, 0.7 miles south of Taobh Lochaidh, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Taobh Lochaidh (Gaelic: Lochyside) is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Taobh Lochaidh use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Taobh Lochaidh. We also cover Glasgow, some 75 miles away.

FAQs: Taobh Lochaidh
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Belford Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can being near the sea in Taobh Lochaidh affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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 one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
