External & façade joints in Woodside, Perth and Kinross
External mastic for Woodside, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Check external joints each spring
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Woodside
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. Typical jobs include failed sealant between panels on a façade and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, across copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
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, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Woodside and across Perth and Kinross.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. In an older home around Woodside, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Woodside
Is Woodside in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Woodside is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Woodside?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before work begins from the range available.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are normally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
What affects the quote in Woodside
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Woodside buildings and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Woodside, as everywhere, external mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Woodside, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
