Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

About our external mastic in Conon Bridge
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We work on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and façade panels, and people most often call us about movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and water getting into walls through failed joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Conon Bridge: your questions answered
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Conon Bridge any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Conon Bridge station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Cement or mortar can’t stretch. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Do you cover Conon Bridge?
Yes. We work in Conon Bridge and the rest of Highland, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
What external mastic looks like in Conon Bridge
Conon Bridge is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dingwall Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Do you need external mastic in Conon Bridge?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
For landlords with property near Conon Bridge station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Around Conon Bridge, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
