When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

External mastic in Garmond
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Garmond depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Garmond
Can you do external mastic in Garmond?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Garmond is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Garmond?
Yes. Garmond is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use, or one the system allows. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Garmond 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Why act early in Garmond
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. In an older home around Garmond, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Outside joints around Garmond
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Garmond, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Garmond is about 14 miles south-west of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB53 area, our applicators can take on external mastic. Garmond is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire we cover. There’s also a page for Aberdeen, roughly 29 miles from Garmond.
Work in AB53 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Neighbouring places we cover for external mastic include Cuminestown (1 mile south), New Byth (1 mile north-east), Turriff (5 miles west), New Pitsligo (5 miles north-east) and Turfhill (5 miles south-east).

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common problems we fix in Garmond
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
For an older house near a landmark such as Monquhitter Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
