External mastic across Perth and Kinross: what to expect

Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Common call-outs are for movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, across joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and concrete & block.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation.

First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.

Walls and rooflines across Perth and Kinross

Our external mastic work across Perth and Kinross covers homes, blocks and business premises, from Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff to the quieter places in between. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast decides the day.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in Perth and Kinross are chosen with that in mind. Perth and Kinross includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.

Perth: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Perth High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Perth station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
Check external joints each spring

Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.

A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.

How we quote for external mastic

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

When we can work, for business premises
How easy the joints are to reach
Any mould that needs treating
How many areas need sealing

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

Where the property is
Photos by email, if that’s easy
Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Any previous sealing or DIY work

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Perth and Kinross

Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.

Common reasons people contact us are:

Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Panel joints letting water in
Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Rigid filler in a joint that should flex

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Perth and Kinross, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Should I try DIY first?

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.

Can tenants book the work?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
