About our external mastic in Brydekirk
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. We work on concrete & block, façade panels and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about water getting into walls through failed joints and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Brydekirk depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Brydekirk
Is Brydekirk within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Annan station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the new joint stand out?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Outside joints around Brydekirk
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Homes close to Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Have failed joints looked at early
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
When to call us in Brydekirk
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
For landlords with property near Annan station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
