Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Commercial clients in Urafirth
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Urafirth can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why act early in Urafirth
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Around smaller places like Urafirth, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
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 quote when you are ready.

Your questions answered
Will you travel to Urafirth on the island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Urafirth. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can being near the sea in Urafirth affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for.

Advice
What else we do in Urafirth
When to call us in Urafirth
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink and internal caulk in a moving joint is usually the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
Around Urafirth, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
