External mastic in Bridgend
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can help.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Why act early in Bridgend
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
When to call us in Bridgend
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
Around Bridgend, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.

How long does external mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Walls and rooflines in Bridgend
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Kilmichael Glassary Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outside jobs in Bridgend need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
