Facade sealing in Tomatin
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Tomatin, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Facade sealing in Tomatin, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tomatin first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Tomatin that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Tomatin?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Tomatin too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tomatin 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.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you need facade sealing in Tomatin?
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Around Tomatin, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
What to look for in a quote
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Building and refurbishing in Tomatin
The east of Scotland, where Tomatin is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Projects in Tomatin follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
For contractors building in or near Tomatin, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames

What else we do in Tomatin
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Why act early in Tomatin
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings near Tomatin, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
