Do you need external mastic in Lundin Links?
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
In and around Lundin Links, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle external mastic in Lundin Links
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. We work on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block, and people most often call us about failed sealant between panels on a façade and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What external mastic looks like in Lundin Links
Lundin Links is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you let a flat or house near Leven station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outside jobs in Lundin Links 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.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

FAQs for Lundin Links
I let a flat near Leven station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Lundin Links any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What does external mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
