Frames, entrances and external joints in Rubha Ban

Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Island jobs, Rubha Ban among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. A list of buildings lets us cover them all on one trip where we can.
Older community buildings, St Michael's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Rubha Ban, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about water getting in round frames after rain and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Rubha Ban 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.
Around Rubha Ban, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
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 quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Questions about Rubha Ban
Can being near the sea in Rubha Ban affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you travel to Rubha Ban on the island?
Yes, Rubha Ban is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
