Facade sealing in Dury, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you are dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Dury, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Dury, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions we’re asked in Dury
Do you work on the island where Dury is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Dury. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Dury?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.

Facade sealing in Dury: the local picture
Dury lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Being on an island, Dury means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Everything for the package travels with us, so drawings and quantities matter.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Dury need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
Dury is in the Shetland Islands. We send applicators to Dury for facade joints. Dury is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands on our list.
Postcode districts covered here: ZE2. Access to Dury is via the B9075, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Just outside Dury, we also work in Vidlin (4 miles north), Vassa (4 miles south), Voe (4 miles north-west), Clate (5 miles east) and Sandwick (5 miles east). A short drive away, we cover Lerwick (12 miles south), Sound (12 miles south), Scalloway (13 miles south) and Brae (8 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Why act early in Dury
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Dury, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Common problems we fix in Dury
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
On any site in or around Dury, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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 Dury, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photos, 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.
- 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.

What affects the price in Dury
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
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.
