Advice
External mastic for homes and businesses in Wellhouse
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. We are often asked to deal with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
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.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wellhouse and across Glasgow. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When to call us in Wellhouse
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has usually failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and speed up the damage.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Walls and rooflines in Wellhouse
With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wellhouse as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Saint Benedict's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Garrowhill station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Wellhouse
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a place like Wellhouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why Wellhouse clients choose us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Common questions in Wellhouse
Do you work for landlords with property near Garrowhill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wellhouse?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you use backing rod?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height, and we will confirm what access is needed.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
