External mastic in Eastfield
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. Common call-outs are for gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, across render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Eastfield, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Eastfield, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What we are called out for in Eastfield
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Rented homes near Burnside station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
Outside joints around Eastfield
With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 3.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Eastfield as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
In the older streets around Wardlawhill Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stonelaw High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a tenement in Eastfield, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
