External mastic in Limerigg, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. We work on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints, and the jobs we see most are panel joints letting water in and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What we’re called out for in Limerigg
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Panel joints letting water in
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Around Limerigg, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Does someone need to be in?

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. For a place like Limerigg, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take

Limerigg buildings and the weather
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Caldercruix station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
