About our external mastic in Springside
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product. If you have failed seals between different materials and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Springside depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Around Springside, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Springside
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible in all weathers.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
FAQs for Springside
Will you come out to Springside?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Kilmaurs station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Signs you need external mastic in Springside
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, so it pulls away from the edges.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
If you let a flat or house near Kilmaurs station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
