External mastic for homes and businesses in Fraserburgh
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. We are often asked to deal with old sealant gone brittle and cracked and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
In a town like Fraserburgh, plenty of homes have harled (roughcast) walls, and the joints where harling meets windows, doors and pipes need a sealant that grips and flexes. Rooflines take their share of the weather as well.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Your questions about external mastic in Fraserburgh
Can you do external mastic in Fraserburgh?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Fraserburgh is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Fraserburgh?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work at height?
Each building is different. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We’ll talk through colour options before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Fraserburgh, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and protects the render itself.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fraserburgh
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Fraserburgh can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Quotes for external mastic in Fraserburgh
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Fraserburgh
What happens if it’s left?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In flats with a shared stair in Fraserburgh, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, and that is much harder to put right.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Walls and rooflines in Fraserburgh
Fraserburgh is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Fraserburgh Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In and around Fraserburgh, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
