The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around High Banton 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.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

About our external mastic in High Banton
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a colour to suit. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and failed seals between different materials, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What external mastic looks like in High Banton
High Banton is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for movement joints and outside wall joints to keep out. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Croy station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about external mastic in High Banton
Will you come out to High Banton?
Yes, High Banton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Croy station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does external mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Signs you need external mastic in High Banton
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Homes close to Banton Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why it’s worth doing now in High Banton
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. In a place like High Banton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Point out the joints to other trades
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
