- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that is not coming from the joint

External mastic for homes and businesses in New Stevenston
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. Common call-outs are for leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, across concrete & block, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
In and around a place like New Stevenston, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- 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. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
What external mastic looks like in New Stevenston
With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 4.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around New Stevenston as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.

Do you need external mastic in New Stevenston?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Schools such as Taylor High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
