Quarriers Village: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Merchiston Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Quarriers Village?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Facade sealing in Quarriers Village
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you are dealing with perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and water coming in around window frames, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Quarriers Village, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
External sealing around Quarriers Village depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Advice
When something else is needed

- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Quarriers Village
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Do you need facade sealing in Quarriers Village?
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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
On any site in or around Quarriers Village, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Share access with other external trades
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
