Landlord and commercial work in Spittal
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How we handle remedial sealant in Spittal
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and a second bead peeling off the first.
In and around a place like Spittal, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Related advice
Signs you need remedial sealant in Spittal
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
If you live in an older home near Stonelaw Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long to leave it before use
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Spittal, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Spittal
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Managing a site like Stonelaw High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Croftfoot station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
