External mastic in Inverarish
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about water getting into walls through failed joints and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Inverarish depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Inverarish: your questions answered
Is Inverarish in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Inverarish is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Inverarish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How much does external mastic cost in Inverarish?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you use backing rod?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
When to call us in Inverarish
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Around Inverarish, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Around Inverarish, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Outside joints around Inverarish
Inverarish is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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 joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For jobs in and around Inverarish, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.

How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
