External mastic for homes and businesses in Huntershill Village
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you have cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can put it right, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and façade panels alike.
In and around a place like Huntershill Village, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What external mastic looks like in Huntershill Village
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home 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.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outside jobs in Huntershill Village need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What else we do in Huntershill Village
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
How we quote for external mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
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.
Your questions about external mastic in Huntershill Village
I let a flat near Springburn station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Huntershill Village for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Huntershill Village is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

When to call us in Huntershill Village
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
For landlords with property near Springburn station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
