External mastic in Parkhouse
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and failed seals between different materials, across joints between brick and frames, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Parkhouse depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

External mastic in Parkhouse: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 1.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Parkhouse 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.
Schools such as St. Roch's Secondary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Ashfield station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Do you need external mastic in Parkhouse?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Panel joints letting water in
Tenement House, about 1.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Parkhouse.

Parkhouse: your questions answered
Will you come out to Parkhouse?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Parkhouse in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Parkhouse is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. If it has already been filled, we can generally cut it out and reseal it.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why it’s worth doing now in Parkhouse
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In an older home around Parkhouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Parkhouse may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit

- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
