How we handle external mastic in Whiteface
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. If you’re dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and joints with sealant missing in places, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you’re in Whiteface and need external mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What external mastic looks like in Whiteface
Whiteface 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’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For jobs in and around Whiteface, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Whiteface, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. In an older home around Whiteface, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

Common questions in Whiteface
Is Whiteface within the area you cover?
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.
Can you do external mastic in Whiteface?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Whiteface is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It gives the wall room to move.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.
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.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
