External mastic in Bogmoor
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Common call-outs are for moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints where the bead has come unstuck, across façade panels, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Bogmoor depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation for a typical job. Somewhere like Bogmoor may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Common questions in Bogmoor
Do you cover smaller places like Bogmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Bogmoor for external mastic?
Yes, Bogmoor is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We pick the one that suits your wall best so the joint does not draw the eye.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Point out the joints to other trades
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Landlord and commercial work in Bogmoor
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What external mastic looks like in Bogmoor
Bogmoor is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Bogmoor, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Bogmoor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
