Work in Rutherglen
Tenements and terraces
Rutherglen is an old burgh and it has the stock to match: tenement flats, stone terraces and inter war housing, with post war estates round the edges.
In flatted property most of the work is interior. Walls skimmed flat so they will take paint, chimney breasts opened or boarded in, and ceilings dealt with.
Lath and plaster
Older property here is the most likely to have lath and plaster ceilings, which eventually let go whatever you do to the surface.
Tap one. If it gives, or sounds dull and solid rather than hollow, it is better taken down and re-boarded than filled again.
Outside work
On the houses rather than the flats, the usual exterior list applies. A tenement elevation is normally a factored, shared decision and a different kind of job altogether.

Questions about work in Rutherglen
Do you do common close work?
Ring and tell us what is being proposed and who is organising it. Common work goes through a factor or the owners together, which changes how it has to be quoted.
My ceiling cracks keep coming back. Why?
Filler does not hold a failed board or a failed fixing together. A crack that returns is telling you the problem is behind the surface.
