Leave it or put it right?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Private landlords in a town like Lenzie must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

External mastic in Lenzie, done properly
Low-level joints can generally 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 work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant between panels on a façade and weathered mastic that no longer stretches.
Harled walls are common in Scottish towns like Lenzie, and sealing where harling meets a frame or pipe takes a sealant that can grip a rough surface. Gutters and fascias here take plenty of Scottish weather too.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Common problems we fix in Lenzie
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
Homes close to Lenzie Old Parish Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
