Questions about Fairlie
Is Fairlie too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The Lady Margaret Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Facade sealing in Fairlie
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Fairlie, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Fairlie, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
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.

What else we do in Fairlie
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Sites and facades in and around Fairlie
Fairlie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Fairlie warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
New wings at hospitals like The Lady Margaret Hospital (to the west of Fairlie) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For a building near Fairlie, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings near Fairlie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
