Tullibardine buildings and the weather
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.
Managing a site like Community School of Auchterarder? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Gleneagles station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Tullibardine
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 copings & trims, façade panels and brickwork movement joints, and people most often call us about hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Tullibardine depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. Somewhere like Tullibardine may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, 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 is why we ask a few questions first.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tullibardine and across Perth and Kinross. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What affects the quote in Tullibardine
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.

What colours does the sealant come in?

How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you use backing rod?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What information do you need?

What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
