External & façade joints in Jordanhill, Glasgow
Movement joints in Jordanhill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
External mastic in Jordanhill, done properly
For buildings in Jordanhill, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We’re often asked to deal with joints with sealant missing in places and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, on façade panels, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Jordanhill, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

External mastic in Jordanhill: local notes
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Your title deeds say which parts are shared. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Jordanhill Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Jordanhill College? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Jordanhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
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 it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jordanhill
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a tenement flat in Jordanhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.

Signs you need external mastic in Jordanhill
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you let a flat or house near Scotstounhill station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Common questions in Jordanhill
I let a flat near Scotstounhill station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Jordanhill usually arranged?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you cover Jordanhill?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Jordanhill.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
How long does external mastic last?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly and renew it when it starts to fail.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
