What affects the quote in Carlogie

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

External mastic in Carlogie
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic that no longer stretches and panel joints letting water in, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and copings & trims.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Walls and rooflines in Carlogie
Carlogie is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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.
Rented homes near Carnoustie station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. In the older streets around Holyrood Episcopal Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Carlogie is about 1 mile north of Carnoustie, in Angus. Carlogie gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a place like Carlogie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Your questions about external mastic in Carlogie
Is Carlogie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Carlogie any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check external joints each spring
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Do you need external mastic in Carlogie?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed seals between different materials
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Carnoustie High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
