About our external mastic in Tannochside
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint does not stand out. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Somewhere like Tannochside may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Tannochside buildings and the weather
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Uddingston Grammar School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you need external mastic in Tannochside?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
For landlords with property near Uddingston station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
