About our facade sealing in Drakemyre
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Drakemyre 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.
In smaller places such as Drakemyre, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Drakemyre

No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Contractors’ notes for Drakemyre
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Drakemyre warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The west of Scotland, where Drakemyre is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Historic houses such as Montgreenan, 4.8 miles south-east of Drakemyre, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Woodland View, 5.9 miles south of Drakemyre, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Drakemyre is about 4 miles north of Kilwinning, in North Ayrshire.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Drakemyre: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Woodland View?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Drakemyre outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Do you seal facades in winter?
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.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Jobs near Drakemyre are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
