DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Abernethy
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we do not skip that step. If you have panel joints letting water in and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Abernethy and everywhere else we cover.

What we’re called out for in Abernethy
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
If you live in an older home near Kirk Of St Bride, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
What else we do in Abernethy
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Abernethy buildings and the weather
Abernethy is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Abernethy, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Abernethy is about 7 miles south-east of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Across the PH2 area, our applicators can take on external mastic. Our Perth and Kinross coverage runs to 107 places, Abernethy among them. We also work in Dundee, around 16 miles away.

How we quote for external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Around Abernethy, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Abernethy
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
