Your questions about external mastic in Meigle
Will you come out to Meigle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Meigle for external mastic?
Yes, Meigle is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Meigle.
How much does external mastic cost in Meigle?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
External mastic in Meigle
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, on render & cladding joints, copings & trims and façade panels.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Meigle depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Meigle buildings and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. With historic houses such as Balhary House (about 1.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Meigle as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Around Meigle, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Homes close to Meigle Parish Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so the movement is taken up.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Meigle may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Meigle
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
