About our external mastic in Oakbank
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. If you’re dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Oakbank
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Oakbank, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Signs you need external mastic in Oakbank
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Schools such as Perth High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What external mastic looks like in Oakbank
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Rented homes near Perth station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Questions from Oakbank
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do external mastic in Oakbank?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Oakbank is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What does external mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Point out the joints to other trades
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outdoor work around Oakbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
