Why deal with it now?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

External mastic in Littleferry, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. Typical jobs include gaps where render, brick and frames meet and water getting into walls through failed joints, across joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Littleferry depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Littleferry
Do you cover smaller places like Littleferry?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Littleferry affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How much does external mastic cost in Littleferry?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Littleferry may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
Surface by surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
What else we do in Littleferry
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we are called out for in Littleferry
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
In and around Littleferry, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
Walls and rooflines in Littleferry
Littleferry 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. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 Golspie station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
