External mastic for homes and businesses in Brig o'Turk
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic that no longer stretches and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, across brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and façade panels.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Brig o'Turk is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Brig o'Turk and everywhere else we cover.

Walls and rooflines in Brig o'Turk
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Brig o'Turk is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for movement joints and outside wall joints to keep out.
If you look after a building such as Trossachs Primary School Schoolhouse, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Do you need external mastic in Brig o'Turk?
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you live in an older home near Achray Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What else we do in Brig o'Turk
Landlord and commercial work in Brig o'Turk
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Copings & trims

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Around Brig o'Turk, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Brig o'Turk: your questions answered
Will you come out to Brig o'Turk?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Brig o'Turk?
All our work, in Brig o'Turk and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What is a movement joint?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
