How we handle external mastic in Moor of Granary
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. Typical jobs include moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, across render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Moor of Granary depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Moor of Granary and across Moray.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Outside joints around Moor of Granary
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Historic houses like Logie House (about 4.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Moor of Granary has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Forres station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.

Honest limits

Advice
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
