Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Marykirk with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Sealant specialists in Marykirk
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. The enquiries we see most involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Marykirk tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
If you look after more than one building near Marykirk, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Around smaller places such as Marykirk, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Marykirk. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Marykirk
Being in the east of Scotland, Marykirk gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work.
For premises near Laurencekirk station, 4.2 miles to the north-east of Marykirk, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Marykirk is about 5 miles north of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB30 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 179 places across Aberdeenshire fall within our area, Marykirk among them. We also cover Dundee, some 28 miles away.
We cover the AB30 postcode districts for sealant joints. If your site is on Kirktonhill Road, Kirktonhill Place and Napier Place or close by, send details and we’ll quote for sealant joints. If your building is just outside Marykirk, we cover Craigo (1 mile south), Luthermuir (2 miles north-west), Sauchieburn (3 miles north-west), Hillside (3 miles south-east) and St Cyrus (4 miles east).
What’s near Marykirk
The nearest railway station is Laurencekirk station, roughly 4.2 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Inglismaldie Castle (2.7 miles west) and Stracathro Hospital (3.8 miles west). Not far away are St Cyrus National Nature Reserve and Duns Dish.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Common questions from Marykirk clients
Is Marykirk too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Marykirk?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When to call us in Marykirk
No sealant joint is permanent. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
For a hotel such as Marykirik Hotel (under half a mile south of Marykirk), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
