Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Around Kinfauns, 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Kinfauns
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Typical jobs include panel joints letting water in and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims.
In and around a place like Kinfauns, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.

Advice
Outside joints around Kinfauns
Kinfauns is within about 2 miles of 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Perth station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Your questions about external mastic in Kinfauns
Do you work for landlords with property near Perth station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Kinfauns within the area you cover?
Yes. Kinfauns is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It gives the wall room to move.
Do you need external mastic in Kinfauns?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Around Kinfauns, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
