How we handle external mastic in New Farm Loch
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. If you are dealing with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and failed seals between different materials, we can help.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New Farm Loch buildings and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for movement joints and outside wall joints to keep out.
If you look after a building such as James Hamilton Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Historic houses such as Carnell Estate, about 4.4 miles south-east, show how far back building around New Farm Loch goes. Rented homes near Kilmarnock station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What else we do in New Farm Loch
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. Outdoor work around New Farm Loch depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Common questions in New Farm Loch
Can you do external mastic in New Farm Loch?

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
