External mastic for homes and businesses in Greenwall
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. If you have old sealant gone brittle and cracked and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Greenwall depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

External mastic in Greenwall: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For landlords with property near Fauldhouse station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Questions from Greenwall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fauldhouse station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. 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 Greenwall in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Greenwall is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.

Common problems we fix in Greenwall
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Around Greenwall, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a place like Greenwall, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What happens if it’s left?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
