DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
About our external mastic in Kingseat
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you have movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and façade panels alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Common questions in Kingseat
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunfermline Queen Margaret station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingseat?
Yes. Kingseat is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Kingseat?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What is backing rod for?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Kingseat buildings and the weather
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Dunfermline Queen Margaret station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Historic houses such as Pittencrieff House, about 3 miles south-west, show how far back building around Kingseat goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Kingseat is about 2 miles north-east of Dunfermline, in Fife.

Our area takes in 133 places across Fife, from the larger towns to small villages. Our Edinburgh page covers work nearby, about 13 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Kingseat
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
Why act early in Kingseat
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a place like Kingseat, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Kingseat
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Panel joints letting water in
Managing a site like Woodmill High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Advice
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant if the joint can be cleared.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
