How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Outside jobs in Coylton need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we handle external mastic in Coylton
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where mortar or filler would crack. If you are dealing with plants rooting in failed movement joints and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Coylton depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coylton as everywhere else we work.

Outside joints around Coylton
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church and Graveyard, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Ayr station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Common questions in Coylton
Do you work for landlords with property near Ayr station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Coylton?
Yes. Coylton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher work, tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Coylton?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you use backing rod?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. That way it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coylton
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Coylton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints

What affects the cost of external mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
