Ardler questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Ardler get organised?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How we handle gutter sealing in Ardler
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We are often asked to deal with end caps that drip every time it rains and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on garage door frames, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Ardler, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.

Gutter sealing in Ardler: local notes
Ardler is within about 3 miles 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Lawside Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Ardler is about 2 miles north-west of Dundee, in Dundee. From the centre of Ardler to the outskirts, gutter sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our area takes in 50 places across Dundee, large and small.

For rail, the closest station is Invergowrie station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Common problems we fix in Ardler
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Camperdown House, about 1.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ardler.

Leave it or put it right?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it. In a tenement flat in Ardler, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a city area like Ardler, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
