Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Our quote form takes photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas and you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk it through. If the joints need seeing in person, a site visit comes first, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. Site teams most often ask us about gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, across window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Pollokshaws first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
We price commercial jobs in Pollokshaws from photographs, drawings or a site visit, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Pollokshaws is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For premises in Pollokshaws, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Sealant on show in Pollokshaws’s commercial buildings
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Pollokshaws. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Pollokshaws. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
If you look after units at a retail site such as Auldhouse Retail Park (under half a mile south of Pollokshaws), shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows. Occupiers with premises at both Auldhouse Retail Park and Academy Office Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. A hotel such as Ivory Hotel (0.9 miles east of Pollokshaws) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters

FAQs: Pollokshaws
Can the sealant on our Pollokshaws premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Must a hotel around Pollokshaws close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Cost factors for sealant joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is. Failed sealant in a shared building in Pollokshaws can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
