About our external mastic in Edzell
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 so the line blends in. If you’re dealing with damp patches traced to an open external joint and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Edzell is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

More services for Edzell
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and protects the render itself.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Edzell may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Do you need external mastic in Edzell?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Around Edzell, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
What affects the cost of external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
External mastic in Edzell: local notes
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Edzell Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
