About our gutter sealing in Àird
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have old gutter sealant that has let go and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the amount of work. Around Àird, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
When to call us in Àird
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
Whether the job is in Àird itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is generally enough.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
FAQs for Àird
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Àird?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is Àird in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Àird is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Àird?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Outside joints around Àird
Àird is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Àird, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
