DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Fire rated sealant in Polmadie, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Polmadie, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Fire rated sealant around Polmadie
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as St Margaret Mary's Secondary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Croftfoot station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Polmadie
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Polmadie, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
