Questions about Corrie Common
Can you keep pace with our programme in Corrie Common?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Corrie Common off your patch?
Not at all. Corrie Common is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Corrie Common
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about staining on stone next to old sealant and facade joints cracked through the middle, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Corrie Common, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Corrie Common, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Commercial clients in Corrie Common
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Doing it in-house
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Where we can, we combine work around Corrie Common with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

When to call us in Corrie Common
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
On any site in or around Corrie Common, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
