External mastic in Hyndland, done properly
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Typical jobs include rigid filler in a joint that should flex and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across render & cladding joints, concrete & block and copings & trims.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Hyndland, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Hyndland buildings and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
Managing a site like Hyndland Secondary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Hyndland station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Signs you need external mastic in Hyndland
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Panel joints letting water in
For an older house near a landmark such as Hyndland Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hyndland
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a tenement flat in Hyndland, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Fully insured

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- 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.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
FAQs for Hyndland
Can you do external mastic in Hyndland?
Yes, Hyndland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Hyndland?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hyndland, along with the rest of our area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access for a typical job. For a tenement in Hyndland, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
