External mastic in Meikleour: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you live in an older home near Kinclaven Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. In and around Meikleour, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle external mastic in Meikleour
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can help.
In and around a place like Meikleour, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meikleour
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. 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. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Meikleour
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- Tidy, careful work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.

How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
If you are in Meikleour and need external mastic, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Meikleour questions
Do you cover smaller places like Meikleour?
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.
Is Meikleour in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Meikleour is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What colours does the sealant come in?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We pick the one that suits your wall best so the joint doesn’t draw the eye.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a place like Meikleour, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
