Do you need external mastic in Broomhouse?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
For landlords with property near Baillieston station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
External mastic for homes and businesses in Broomhouse
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have water getting into walls through failed joints and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Broomhouse is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.

Broomhouse questions
Do you cover Broomhouse for external mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Broomhouse is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Broomhouse within the area you cover?
Yes. Broomhouse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Broomhouse?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
What affects the quote in Broomhouse
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outside jobs in Broomhouse need a dry day, because sealant will not 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Have failed joints looked at early
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Outside joints around Broomhouse
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Baillieston St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bannerman High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
