External & façade joints in Eyemouth, Scottish Borders
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for Eyemouth, backed by a one-year guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
How we handle external mastic in Eyemouth
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. Common call-outs are for plants rooting in failed movement joints and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

External mastic in Eyemouth: local notes
Eyemouth is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Eyemouth, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Letting a property close to Reston station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Eyemouth is in the Scottish Borders. From the centre of Eyemouth to the outskirts, external mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 89 towns and villages across the Scottish Borders, from the larger towns to small villages. Edinburgh is on our list too, about 43 miles from Eyemouth.

Questions from Eyemouth
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Eyemouth?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that is happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Eyemouth may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a place like Eyemouth, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
