Newton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Newton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do external mastic in Newton?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Newton is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We will talk through colour options before work begins from the range available.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
External mastic in Newton, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Newton, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and water getting into walls through failed joints.
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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check external joints each spring
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
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, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two so the movement is taken up.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Newton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Walls and rooflines in Newton
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Newton 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Uddingston Grammar School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Newton station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
