How a job runs

About our construction mastic in Ibrox
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Site teams most often ask us about frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, across brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ibrox it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
New build and refits around Ibrox
Being in the west of Scotland, Ibrox gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days. The area within 2 miles of Ibrox holds a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a campus such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus, which lies north-east of Ibrox, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. For a contractor working at a hospital such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, 1.1 miles to the north-east of Ibrox, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a college such as Glasgow Clyde College - Cardonald Campus (to the south-west of Ibrox) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.
Ibrox is about 1 mile west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. We cover Ibrox, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Glasgow, 171 places are covered, including Ibrox.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Why act early in Ibrox
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Questions about Ibrox
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Ibrox Business Park, by Ibrox?
Yes. Our area takes in Ibrox and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ibrox Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging, all priced as one package.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
To get a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email us. You can also send details through our quote form.
Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
