Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

External mastic in Baillieston, done properly
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you’re dealing with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Baillieston depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. Around Baillieston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Signs you need external mastic in Baillieston
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
In the older streets around Baillieston St Andrew's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check external joints each spring
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
What external mastic looks like in Baillieston
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that won’t stain or attack it.
Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Baillieston station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
