External mastic in Tomintoul
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, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Tomintoul is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take

What we’re called out for in Tomintoul
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
In and around Tomintoul, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. For a place like Tomintoul, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Can you do external mastic in Tomintoul?
Yes, Tomintoul is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How much does external mastic cost in Tomintoul?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Why deal with it now?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What external mastic looks like in Tomintoul
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
For jobs in and around Tomintoul, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
