Turriff: your questions answered
Can you do external mastic in Turriff?
Yes, Turriff is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Turriff?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
About our external mastic in Turriff
For buildings in Turriff, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you have moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints where the bead has come unstuck, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Turriff, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the quote in Turriff
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outside jobs in Turriff need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Turriff, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Turriff
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour picked to suit the job
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.

Turriff buildings and the weather
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. 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.
Homes close to St Ninian's Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Turriff Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
