How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a place like New Aberdour, 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

External mastic for homes and businesses in New Aberdour
For buildings in New Aberdour, 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. We work on façade panels, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints, and the jobs we see most are panel joints letting water in and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need external mastic in New Aberdour
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Around New Aberdour, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

What else we do in New Aberdour
External mastic in New Aberdour: local notes
New Aberdour is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Homes close to Saint Drostan's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
