External & façade joints in Drakemyre, North Ayrshire
External mastic across Drakemyre and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck

When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

How we handle external mastic in Drakemyre
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. Typical jobs include weathered mastic that no longer stretches and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
In and around a place like Drakemyre, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
What external mastic looks like in Drakemyre
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. Historic houses like Montgreenan (about 4.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Drakemyre has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Trinity Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Letting a property close to Dalry station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. In an older home around Drakemyre, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Drakemyre may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
