External mastic for homes and businesses in Keltybridge
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We’re often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Keltybridge depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Around Keltybridge, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
What external mastic looks like in Keltybridge
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Schools such as Beath High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Cowdenbeath station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall

Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
