What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

External mastic in Newton
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. If you are dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right, on façade panels, copings & trims and concrete & block alike.
In and around a place like Newton, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Newton and across Moray.

Do you need external mastic in Newton?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
Homes close to Spynie Parish Church and Enclosing Walls include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does external mastic last?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.

How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Outside joints around Newton
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
Letting a property close to Elgin station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- 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
