About our external mastic in Mundole
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. We’re often asked to deal with water getting into walls through failed joints and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and copings & trims.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Mundole depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Mundole and across Moray.

What external mastic looks like in Mundole
Mundole is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Logie House (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mundole as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Forres Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Historic houses such as Logie House, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building around Mundole goes.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Mundole: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Forres station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the coastal weather in Mundole affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Mundole and the rest of Moray, along with the rest of our area.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you cover Mundole?
Yes, we do. Mundole is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding so the bead can stretch.
Do you need external mastic in Mundole?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
For landlords with property near Forres station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.

Other services in Mundole
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Outside jobs in Mundole need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. In an older home around Mundole, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
