External Mastic in Ibrox
External mastic across Ibrox and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Panel joints letting water in
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
How we handle external mastic in Ibrox
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we don’t skip that step. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and water getting into walls through failed joints, we can help.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. In Ibrox, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlord and commercial work in Ibrox
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Ibrox and across Glasgow. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Why deal with it now?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. For landlords in Ibrox, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Walls and rooflines in Ibrox
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 1.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ibrox as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ibrox Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Dumbreck station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What’s near Ibrox

What we are called out for in Ibrox
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bellahouston Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Your questions about external mastic in Ibrox
Can you do external mastic in Ibrox?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ibrox is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Dumbreck station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Parking in city streets around Ibrox can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
