External mastic in Lands of Broomlands
Low-level joints can normally 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 rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and joints with sealant missing in places, across render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What external mastic looks like in Lands of Broomlands
Lands of Broomlands is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Girgenti House (about 3.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Lands of Broomlands has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Irvine station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Historic houses such as Girgenti House, about 3.5 miles north, show how far back building around Lands of Broomlands goes. If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What the job involves on each 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 if the joint can be cleared.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible in all weathers.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a place like Lands of Broomlands, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

What else we do in Lands of Broomlands
Lands of Broomlands questions
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Lands of Broomlands any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Lands of Broomlands?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does external mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
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.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Lands of Broomlands
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
