FAQs: Ibrox
Can work at a site such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Ibrox?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Do you cover Ibrox?
Yes. We cover Ibrox and the rest of Glasgow, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Ibrox
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are expanding foam used as fire stopping and openings left by services added after handover. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ibrox, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Tenement blocks and converted stone buildings in Scottish cities often hide old service routes through walls and floors. Wall type and service type decide the product, so both are checked before sealing, and design questions go to the designer or verifier.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and we clear our waste as we work. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Ibrox, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Fire stopping in Ibrox: the local picture
There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Ibrox. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The area within 2 miles of Ibrox holds plenty of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
At a college such as Glasgow Clyde College - Cardonald Campus, 1.3 miles south-west of Ibrox, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice. Shop fits in centres such as West End Retail Park (to the north of Ibrox) can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, which then need the specified seal. Hospital estates such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, 1.1 miles to the north-east of Ibrox, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
Ibrox is about 1 mile west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. We cover Ibrox, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 171 places in Glasgow, large and small.
We take on service penetrations across the G51, G41 and G52 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Farm Road, Rowan Road and Skene Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for service penetrations. Sites close to Ibrox are covered too, including Moorepark (1 mile north-west), Bellahouston (1 mile south-east), Dumbreck (1 mile south), Govan (1 mile north) and Craigton (1 mile west). Nearby towns on our patch include Calton (3 miles east), Wyndford (3 miles north), Yoker (4 miles north-west), High Ruchill (3 miles north), Mount Florida (3 miles south-east) and Hillpark (3 miles south).
Around Ibrox
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Craigholme School, Glasgow University Library and Craigton Primary School and the streets around them. The closest station to Ibrox is Dumbreck station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Elder Cottage Hospital (1 mile north-west) and Princes Square (2.1 miles east).
Leave it or put it right?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area.
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open instead of being left for someone else.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ibrox
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Ibrox. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
