Memsie External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Memsie and across Aberdeenshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
External mastic for homes and businesses in Memsie
For buildings in Memsie, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you have cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and failed sealant between panels on a façade, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and render & cladding joints alike.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. In a place like Memsie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What external mastic looks like in Memsie
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
In and around Memsie, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Memsie: your questions answered
Is external mastic in Memsie guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Memsie for external mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Memsie is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
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, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. For a place like Memsie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Signs you need external mastic in Memsie
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed seals between different materials
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Whether the job is in Memsie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
