Common problems we fix in New Farm Loch
Some old mastic was never deep enough. A thin layer doesn’t hold well, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Open joints round the window box
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as James Hamilton Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Sand mastic in New Farm Loch
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. If you’re dealing with gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can put it right.
In and around a place like New Farm Loch, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in New Farm Loch
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
Need a quote? Please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Farm Loch
If you are redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
