About our external mastic in Easter Kinkell
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. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. We work on façade panels, copings & trims and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are joints where the bead has come unstuck and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Easter Kinkell is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. 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 start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.

What else we do in Easter Kinkell
What we are called out for in Easter Kinkell
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render

Your questions about external mastic in Easter Kinkell
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Conon Bridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Easter Kinkell any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you cover Easter Kinkell?
We do. Easter Kinkell is part of the area we cover.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Easter Kinkell
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, 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 is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
Easter Kinkell buildings and the weather
Easter Kinkell is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Old Allangrange House (about 3.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Easter Kinkell as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
