What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Crimond. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What else we do in Crimond
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Crimond, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send your site hours and access windows
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Common problems we fix in Crimond
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For contractors building in or near Crimond, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Questions we are asked in Crimond
Is Crimond off your patch?
No. Places such as Crimond are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Crimond change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Contractors’ notes for Crimond
Crimond sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Crimond warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Crimond need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
