Your questions about external mastic in Corrie Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Lockerbie station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Corrie Common?
Yes, Corrie Common is covered. 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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
External mastic in Corrie Common
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. We work on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are damp patches traced to an open external joint and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Corrie Common is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Outside joints around Corrie Common
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. 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.
In the older streets around Corrie Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What we’re called out for in Corrie Common
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
If you let a flat or house near Lockerbie station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Why it’s worth doing now in Corrie Common
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner so it’s worth doing right. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Around Corrie Common, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What affects the cost of external mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
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 to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
