Outside joints around King's Park
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. 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.
For landlords with property near Kings Park station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 2.9 miles north, show how far back building around King's Park goes.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Send us any details you have about the façade.
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.
What we are called out for in King's Park
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyrood Secondary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in King's Park, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.

Your questions about external mastic in King's Park
How is work on the outside of a tenement in King's Park generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Kings Park station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
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.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
