External & façade joints in Kirkhill, Highland
We cover Kirkhill for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
How we handle external mastic in Kirkhill
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you’re dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can put it right.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outside jobs in Kirkhill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkhill
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What external mastic looks like in Kirkhill
Kirkhill is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wardlaw Parish Church of Scotland, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Signs you need external mastic in Kirkhill
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 new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
For landlords with property near Beauly station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
