About our remedial sealant in Kinning Park
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have mould trapped under a layer of silicone and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Kinning Park is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kinning Park as everywhere else we work.

Kinning Park: your questions answered
I’m in a tenement in Kinning Park. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work in hotels near Kinning Park?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you cover Kinning Park?
We do. Kinning Park is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Kinning Park, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Kinning Park
For anyone letting property in or around Kinning Park, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Common problems we fix in Kinning Park
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Torn expansion joints
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you let a flat or house near Dumbreck station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What remedial sealant looks like in Kinning Park
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kinning Park. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Schools such as Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
