External mastic for homes and businesses in Calderbank
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We’re often asked to deal with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Calderbank is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Calderbank and across North Lanarkshire.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What you get with us

What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Common questions in Calderbank
Will you come out to Calderbank?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Airdrie station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Calderbank
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Failed seals between different materials
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Homes close to Calderbank Parish Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Calderbank 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. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What external mastic looks like in Calderbank
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as Brannock High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Airdrie station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
