About our external mastic in Edzell Woods
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. Typical jobs include rigid filler in a joint that should flex and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Edzell Woods is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the quote in Edzell Woods
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Your questions about external mastic in Edzell Woods
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Edzell Woods?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do external mastic in Edzell Woods?
Yes, Edzell Woods is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if it’s left?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In an older home around Edzell Woods, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check external joints each spring
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Outside joints around Edzell Woods
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.

Do you need external mastic in Edzell Woods?
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.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
For jobs in and around Edzell Woods, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
