What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
About our external mastic in Cambuskenneth
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 are often asked to deal with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and panel joints letting water in, across concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
In and around a place like Cambuskenneth, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Cambuskenneth
Can you do external mastic in Cambuskenneth?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cambuskenneth is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Cambuskenneth?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Why act early in Cambuskenneth
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Cambuskenneth
Outside joints around Cambuskenneth
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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Signs you need external mastic in Cambuskenneth
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
If you let a flat or house near Stirling station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
