How we handle external mastic in Logie
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We work on render & cladding joints, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are old sealant gone brittle and cracked and joints with sealant missing in places.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Logie, work on shared parts of a tenement is normally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.

What else we do in Logie
How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
Landlord and commercial work in Logie
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Common questions in Logie
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Logie any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Logie?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so the joint doesn’t draw the eye.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides.
What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. For landlords in Logie, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

How we quote for external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Logie and need external mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation and we leave things clean and tidy. Inside a flat in Logie, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
What external mastic looks like in Logie
Logie 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 is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
Schools such as Harris Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Camperdown House, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Logie, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
