How we handle construction mastic in New Farm Loch
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in New Farm Loch, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is cracks opening in caulked internal joints and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Most enquiries from New Farm Loch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like New Farm Loch is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in New Farm Loch
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
Extensions at sites like University Hospital Crosshouse (2.6 miles west of New Farm Loch) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Where we can, we combine work around New Farm Loch with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
New Farm Loch: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like University Hospital Crosshouse?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Bonnyton Industrial Estate, close to New Farm Loch?
Yes, sites like Bonnyton Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of New Farm Loch. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
