DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
About our external mastic in Scourie More
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you are dealing with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints alike.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it before sealing.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.

External mastic in Scourie More: local notes
Scourie More is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For jobs in and around Scourie More, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Scourie More, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Scourie More is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Scourie More is covered for external mastic. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.

Common questions in Scourie More
Does the coastal weather in Scourie More affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is Scourie More within the area you cover?
Yes. Scourie More is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Scourie More and the rest of Highland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and renew it when it starts to fail.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Render & cladding joints
