How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Scourie
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and failed sealant on precast panel joints.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Scourie, 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.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

What else we do in Scourie
Signs you need facade sealing in Scourie
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as Scourie Hotel (under half a mile west of Scourie), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Facade sealing in Scourie: the local picture
Scourie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Scourie has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On any site in or around Scourie, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Scourie is in Highland. Anywhere in IV27, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.

What affects the price in Scourie
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
FAQs: Scourie
Our building in Scourie is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Scourie too far out for you?
Not at all. Scourie is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Why deal with it now?
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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
