External mastic in Annbank
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 do not skip that step. If you are dealing with moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints alike.
In and around a place like Annbank, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Annbank as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Annbank
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Drumley House School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Annbank
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In an older home around Annbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What external mastic looks like in Annbank
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Annbank is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for movement joints and outside wall joints to keep out.
Letting a property close to Newton-On-Ayr station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What else we do in Annbank
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outside jobs in Annbank need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
