When to call us in Turnberry
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
In and around Turnberry, as anywhere, good external mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
About our external mastic in Turnberry
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. We work on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pointed up with cement by mistake and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Turnberry and everywhere else we cover.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Outside joints around Turnberry
Turnberry is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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 let a flat or house near Girvan station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Why it’s worth doing now in Turnberry
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. In an older home around Turnberry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Outdoor work around Turnberry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

FAQs for Turnberry
Do you work for landlords with property near Girvan station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Turnberry?
Yes. Turnberry is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only, which would stop it stretching.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
