Surface by surface
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
About our external mastic in Monymusk
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you are dealing with damp patches traced to an open external joint and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can help.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Monymusk depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Monymusk as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Monymusk
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
In the older streets around St Mary's Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
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
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Around Monymusk, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Outside joints around Monymusk
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Around Monymusk, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can you do external mastic in Monymusk?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Monymusk is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?

Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement 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.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
