How we quote for external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
How we handle external mastic in Stevenston
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches traced to an open external joint and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across façade panels, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Outdoor work around Stevenston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Stevenston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stevenston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Stevenston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Will the new joint stand out?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We pick the one that suits your wall best.
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. Around Stevenston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What external mastic looks like in Stevenston
Stevenston is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Historic houses such as Montgreenan, about 4.7 miles east, show how far back building around Stevenston goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Stevenston station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Glencairn Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
