Why act early in Hurlet
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Hurlet, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

About our external mastic in Hurlet
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. 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. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Hurlet, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
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.

Quotes for external mastic in Hurlet
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Point out the joints to other trades
- 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.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
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.
What external mastic looks like in Hurlet
Hurlet 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. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it.
If you let a flat or house near Nitshill station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

When to call us in Hurlet
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Pollok House, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hurlet, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Hurlet, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Common questions in Hurlet
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Nitshill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hurlet in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hurlet is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you work at height?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
What is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
