We cover Pittendreich for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

About our external mastic in Pittendreich
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. We work on copings & trims, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about rigid filler in a joint that should flex and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Pittendreich depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Quotes for external mastic in Pittendreich
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a place like Pittendreich, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Other services in Pittendreich
Why deal with it now?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Pittendreich

Pittendreich buildings and the weather
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Elgin station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What we’re called out for in Pittendreich
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
If you look after a building such as Elgin High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Before you book anyone

- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day

Your questions about external mastic in Pittendreich
Will you come out to Pittendreich?
Yes. Pittendreich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Pittendreich in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Pittendreich is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
