External mastic for homes and businesses in Kincraig
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 rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you are dealing with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What external mastic looks like in Kincraig
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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 Insh Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What affects the quote in Kincraig
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When to call us in Kincraig
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
In and around Kincraig, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Kincraig: your questions answered
Will you come out to Kincraig?
Yes, Kincraig is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Kincraig in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kincraig is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How much does external mastic cost in Kincraig?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What is a movement joint?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Why act early in Kincraig
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last so it’s worth doing right. In an older home around Kincraig, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
