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 does not last. In a place like North Roe, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our external mastic in North Roe
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you are dealing with movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and plants rooting in failed movement joints, we can put it right.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in North Roe as everywhere else we work.

Questions from North Roe
Is external mastic in a coastal place like North Roe any different?
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 normally the first to need attention.
Can you do external mastic in North Roe?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and North Roe is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides, primed where needed.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
How much does external mastic cost in North Roe?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Around North Roe, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How we quote for external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What external mastic looks like in North Roe
North Roe 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. 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 Methodist Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. In and around North Roe, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
North Roe is in the Shetland Islands. Whether you are in the middle of North Roe or further out, external mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. North Roe is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover.
