External mastic in Millerston: local notes

Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Millerston is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain.

Leave it or put it right?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Around Millerston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. A primer goes on where the product requires one before sealing.
