Outside joints around Almondbank
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. 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 the older streets around St Serf's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Perth station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Almondbank
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we do not skip that step. We work on copings & trims, façade panels and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about failed sealant between panels on a façade and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Almondbank, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
FAQs for Almondbank
Is Almondbank in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Almondbank is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What does external mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Almondbank
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed seals between different materials
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Schools such as Bertha Park High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
