External mastic in Condorrat: local notes
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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For landlords with property near Greenfaulds station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Schools such as Greenfaulds High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

External mastic in Condorrat, done properly
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Common call-outs are for sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across façade panels, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Condorrat depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints

How we quote for external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
