DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Gutter sealing in An Tairbeart, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. Common call-outs are for gaps along fascia and soffit joints and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What gutter sealing looks like in An Tairbeart
An Tairbeart is within about 2 miles 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In the older streets around Ballyhennan Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
An Tairbeart (Gaelic: Tarbet) is about 14 miles north of Helensburgh, in West Dunbartonshire. Jobs in An Tairbeart get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
What we are called out for in An Tairbeart
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Dripping gutter ends
- Garage door frames letting rain in
For landlords with property near Arrochar & Tarbet station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Common questions in An Tairbeart
Does the coastal weather in An Tairbeart affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Arrochar & Tarbet station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last, and we’ll tell you.
