External & façade joints in Kinloch, Perth and Kinross
Movement joints in Kinloch need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

External mastic in Kinloch
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and joints where the bead has come unstuck, across joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and render & cladding joints.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Kinloch
What guarantee comes with external mastic in Kinloch?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Kinloch?
Yes. Kinloch 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.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
How long does external mastic last?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlord and commercial work in Kinloch
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Do you need external mastic in Kinloch?
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
For an older house near a landmark such as Kinloch Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What external mastic looks like in Kinloch
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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blairgowrie High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Around Kinloch, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
