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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Tarves. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

About our facade sealing in Tarves
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and staining on stone next to old sealant. Most enquiries from Tarves start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Tarves, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
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.

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tarves is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Tarves: questions and answers
Is Tarves too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tarves are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which documents can you supply for work in Tarves?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
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.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
