How we handle external mastic in Quarriers Village
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. We work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
In and around a place like Quarriers Village, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints

- Working hours on commercial sites

Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Why it’s worth doing now in Quarriers Village
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What is a movement joint?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Quarriers Village
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
If you live in an older home near Mount Zion Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Quarriers Village 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
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 if the joint can be cleared.
