External mastic for homes and businesses in Hansel Village
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. We work on render & cladding joints, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pointed up with cement by mistake and brick movement joints where the sealant has split.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Hansel Village depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hansel Village and everywhere else we cover.

Walls and rooflines in Hansel Village
Hansel Village is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means movement joints and outside wall joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you live in an older home near Symington Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.

Questions from Hansel Village
Does the coastal weather in Hansel Village affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Prestwick International Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
