Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tobermory
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and sealant pulling away from frames or panels.

In smaller places such as Tobermory, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Tobermory
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Work at a hotel such as Highland Cottage Hotel, less than half a mile south of Tobermory, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

What affects the price in Tobermory
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.

Facade sealing around Tobermory: how the place shapes the job
Tobermory sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Tobermory follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Baliscate Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south of Tobermory), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Projects at schools like Tobermory High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Tobermory. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Tobermory: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Tobermory, such as Baliscate Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tobermory, Baliscate Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Tobermory 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 any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
