Facade sealing across Torlundy
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Facade sealing in Torlundy
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Site teams most often ask us about air leaks through failed facade joints and damp patches beside frames after rain, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Torlundy, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
External sealing around Torlundy depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Torlundy 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.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
FAQs: Torlundy
Is Torlundy too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Torlundy are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Belford Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For buildings near Torlundy, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
When to call us in Torlundy
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Work at a hotel such as Inverlochy Castle Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Torlundy) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
