Outside joints around Newmill
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.
Schools such as Keith Grammar School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Rented homes near Keith station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

External mastic in Newmill
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels, and people most often call us about joints where the bead has come unstuck and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Newmill is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Newmill questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Keith station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Newmill?
Yes. Newmill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does external mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We will tell you when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a place like Newmill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
