External & façade joints in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire
Our applicators work in Aboyne on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
External mastic in Aboyne
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. If you are dealing with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and plants rooting in failed movement joints, 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. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best year round.
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.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. For a place like Aboyne, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What happens if it’s left?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aboyne buildings and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Schools such as Aboyne Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Thomas' Epicopal Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
