External mastic for homes and businesses in Loans
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. We work on façade panels, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Loans is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- 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.

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Loans
Loans is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Meddan, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Marr College, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Barassie station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
Loans is about 1 mile east of Troon, in South Ayrshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
What happens if it’s left?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Around Loans, 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.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
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.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Loans questions
I let a flat near Barassie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Loans?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does external mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
