About our external mastic in Aberuthven
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need external mastic in Aberuthven
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Community School of Auchterarder, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. In a place like Aberuthven, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

For landlords and businesses
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Aberuthven buildings and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of 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.
Letting a property close to Gleneagles station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
