External mastic for homes and businesses in Ochiltree
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Ochiltree, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We are often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, across copings & trims, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Ochiltree is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
Ochiltree buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Dumfries House (about 2.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Ochiltree has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ochiltree Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

When to call us in Ochiltree
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Rented homes near Auchinleck station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
