What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Around Inchture, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

External mastic in Inchture
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include rigid filler in a joint that should flex and plants rooting in failed movement joints, across render & cladding joints, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

Questions from Inchture
Will you come out to Inchture?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does external mastic cost in Inchture?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you use backing rod?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints

You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Signs you need external mastic in Inchture
Buildings move more than people expect. 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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why act early in Inchture
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Outside joints around Inchture
Inchture is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Inchture Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
