About our external mastic in Woodilee Village
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. If you’re dealing with failed seals between different materials and joints with sealant missing in places, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Walls and rooflines in Woodilee Village
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for movement joints and outside wall joints to keep out. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you let a flat or house near Lenzie station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re 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.

Do you work for landlords with property near Lenzie station?

Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you need external mastic in Woodilee Village?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed seals between different materials
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkintilloch High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, 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.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block

Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.

Why act early in Woodilee Village
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In an older home around Woodilee Village, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
