How we handle gutter sealing in Ackergillshore
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We are often asked to deal with water dripping where gutter sections meet and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across uPVC fascias, gutter joints and roofline trims.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Ackergillshore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What gutter sealing looks like in Ackergillshore
Ackergillshore is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wick High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Ackergillshore is about 17 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW1, our applicators can take on gutter sealing. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

What else we do in Ackergillshore
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ackergillshore
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. In an older home around Ackergillshore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us

FAQs for Ackergillshore
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Ackergillshore?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
