External mastic in Creag Ghoraidh
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. If you’re dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Creag Ghoraidh, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod coloured to suit the wall.

What affects the quote in Creag Ghoraidh
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When you contact us, these details help:

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

Walls and rooflines in Creag Ghoraidh
Creag Ghoraidh is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
In and around Creag Ghoraidh, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Creag Ghoraidh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Creag Ghoraidh
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common questions in Creag Ghoraidh
Do you cover Creag Ghoraidh for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Creag Ghoraidh is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Creag Ghoraidh?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
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.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What is a movement joint?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
