Walls and rooflines in Boddam
Boddam is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Homes close to Parish Church Of Boddam include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Boddam
For buildings in Boddam, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and joints between brick and frames, and common reasons people get in touch are panel joints letting water in and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Boddam and across Aberdeenshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boddam
For anyone letting property in or around Boddam, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Outdoor work around Boddam depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Common problems we fix in Boddam
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Failed seals between different materials
Around Boddam, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Is Boddam within the area you cover?

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Boddam.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
