How we handle external mastic in Burrelton
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims, and people most often call us about joints pointed up with cement by mistake and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take

What happens if it’s left?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How much does external mastic cost in Burrelton?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
What is backing rod for?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding, so the joint can move.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.

External mastic in Burrelton: local notes
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. 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.
Around Burrelton, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Burrelton itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
