External mastic in Arnprior
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 and we use one wherever it does. If you have failed seals between different materials and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about external mastic in Arnprior
Do you cover smaller places like Arnprior?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do external mastic in Arnprior?
Yes, Arnprior is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arnprior
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Arnprior buildings and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
Whether the job is in Arnprior itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Other services in Arnprior
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Quotes for external mastic in Arnprior
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
When to call us in Arnprior
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
In and around Arnprior, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
