Common questions in Aberfeldy
Is external mastic in Aberfeldy guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Aberfeldy in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Aberfeldy is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Aberfeldy.
Is it worth trying 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.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Aberfeldy
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. If you have water getting into walls through failed joints and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can put it right.
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 comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you need external mastic in Aberfeldy?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Managing a site like Breadalbane Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Outside joints around Aberfeldy
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
In and around Aberfeldy, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Aberfeldy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
How we quote for external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: 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. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
