Landlord and commercial work in Uddingston
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Uddingston can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When to call us in Uddingston
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a building such as Uddingston Grammar School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why act early in Uddingston
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In flats with a shared stair in Uddingston, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, and that’s much harder to put right.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

FAQs for Uddingston
Do you take on hotel work around Uddingston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Uddingston?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Uddingston?

Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
