What we’re called out for in Baillieston
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a building such as Bannerman High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Baillieston, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

For buildings such as Baillieston St Andrew's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Baillieston station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Baillieston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Baillieston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Common questions in Baillieston
Will you come out to Baillieston?
Yes. Baillieston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Baillieston?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
