Udny Green External Mastic
Our applicators work in Udny Green on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
External mastic in Udny Green
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Udny Green and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Udny Green
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In an older home around Udny Green, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Walls and rooflines in Udny Green
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. 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 Udny Green, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Udny Green
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
In the older streets around Christ's Kirk Of Udny, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Around Udny Green, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Udny Green
Is Udny Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is external mastic in Udny Green guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
