External mastic in Dennyloanhead, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you’re dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Walls and rooflines in Dennyloanhead
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Denny High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Bonnybridge Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you let a flat or house near Larbert station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. Outdoor work around Dennyloanhead depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Dennyloanhead
I let a flat near Larbert station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Dennyloanhead in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Dennyloanhead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
