How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

External mastic in Bellevue
For buildings in Bellevue, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you have panel joints letting water in and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help, on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames alike.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Bellevue, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common questions in Bellevue
Does the coastal weather in Bellevue affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Bellevue?
We do. Our applicators work in Bellevue, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
External mastic in Bellevue: local notes
Bellevue is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Drummond Community High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the amount of work. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Bellevue, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- 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
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Bellevue
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Bellevue, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Signs you need external mastic in Bellevue
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Failed seals between different materials
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
