About our external mastic in Springhill
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about plants rooting in failed movement joints and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Springhill depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Springhill buildings and the weather
Springhill 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. Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 4.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Springhill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Easterhouse station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Signs you need external mastic in Springhill
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bannerman High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether you can choose the colour

Quotes for external mastic in Springhill
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs

What we need to know

- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job

- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Colour picked to suit the job

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outside jobs in Springhill 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
