How we handle external mastic in Hatton
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. If you are dealing with movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we are called out for in Hatton
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
In and around Hatton, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints

More services for Hatton
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Common questions in Hatton
Is Hatton within the area you cover?
Yes, Hatton is covered. 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.
Does the coastal weather in Hatton affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
How we quote for external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Hatton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around Hatton
Hatton is close to 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 Hatton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
