Sulaisiadar External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Sulaisiadar and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
External mastic in Sulaisiadar
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Typical jobs include rigid filler in a joint that should flex and plants rooting in failed movement joints, across brickwork movement joints, façade panels and concrete & block.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What external mastic looks like in Sulaisiadar
Sulaisiadar is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Around Sulaisiadar, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Sulaisiadar itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. Somewhere like Sulaisiadar may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sulaisiadar
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In a place like Sulaisiadar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Common questions in Sulaisiadar
Is Sulaisiadar within the area you cover?
Yes, Sulaisiadar is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Sulaisiadar for external mastic?
Yes, Sulaisiadar is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
How much does external mastic cost in Sulaisiadar?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
