Landlords, agents and businesses in Nethercraigs
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a tenement in Nethercraigs, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Why act early in Nethercraigs
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. For landlords in Nethercraigs, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.

Fire rated sealant in Nethercraigs: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Lourdes Secondary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like St James' (Pollok) Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Other landmarks nearby include Silverburn Shopping Centre (1 mile south) and Glasgow Museums Resource Centre (2.1 miles south-west).
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Nethercraigs?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Corkerhill station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
