Kingoodie External Mastic
Problem with your movement joints in Kingoodie? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Joints with sealant missing in places
External mastic in Kingoodie, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you have panel joints letting water in and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can help.
In and around a place like Kingoodie, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Kingoodie and across Dundee. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Common problems we fix in Kingoodie
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed seals between different materials
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outside jobs in Kingoodie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires 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 any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What external mastic looks like in Kingoodie
Kingoodie is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 2.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Kingoodie has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
In the older streets around All Souls Episcopal Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Kingoodie is about 4 miles south-west of Dundee, in Dundee. Whether you are in the middle of Kingoodie or further out, we cover external mastic for every kind of property. Kingoodie is one of 50 towns and villages in Dundee where we work.
Every address in DD2 is within our area for external mastic. Whether your property is on Woodland Way, The Neuk and Linlithgow Place or anywhere close by, we can help. Neighbouring places we cover for external mastic include Invergowrie (1 mile north), Gowrie Park (1 mile north-east), Ninewells (2 miles north-east), Menzieshill (2 miles north-east) and Charleston (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Dundee (4 miles north-east), Broughty Ferry (8 miles east), Stobswell (4 miles east), Monifieth (10 miles east), Blackness (3 miles east) and Barnhill (8 miles east).
Around Kingoodie
Kingoodie’s nearest station is Invergowrie station, roughly 0.6 miles north-east. A little further out are Tayside Medical History Museum (3.2 miles east) and Castle Huntly (2.4 miles west). Not far away are Trottick Mill Ponds and Rossie Lake.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Kingoodie: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Kingoodie?
Yes. Kingoodie 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 help a landlord with a rental near Invergowrie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
