Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnhouse
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
External mastic in Burnhouse, done properly
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. If you have leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can help.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Burnhouse is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

What external mastic looks like in Burnhouse
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. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Letting a property close to Dunlop station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clandeboye School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two so the movement is taken up.
