Gutter sealing in Ardchattan, 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. If you are dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can put it right.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Outside joints around Ardchattan
Ardchattan 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. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Letting a property close to Connel Ferry station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Questions from Ardchattan
Does the coastal weather in Ardchattan affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Connel Ferry station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
Do you work in Ardchattan?
Yes, we do. Ardchattan is part of the area we cover.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outdoor work around Ardchattan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
