About our external mastic in Roanheads
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Typical jobs include joints with sealant missing in places and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across joints between brick and frames, façade panels and copings & trims.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Your questions about external mastic in Roanheads
Does the coastal weather in Roanheads affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you do external mastic in Roanheads?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Roanheads is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height, and we will confirm what access is needed.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away.

What else we do in Roanheads
Roanheads buildings and the weather
Roanheads is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Roanheads, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Roanheads is about 1 mile east of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. Anywhere in AB42, our applicators can take on external mastic. Across Aberdeenshire, we cover 161 places, and Roanheads is one of them. You can also see our page for Aberdeen, about 28 miles away.

When to call us in Roanheads
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
For jobs in and around Roanheads, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Roanheads
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Roanheads, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Outdoor work around Roanheads 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
