How gutter sealing works in North Ayrshire
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are trim joints where the sealant has failed and garage door frames letting rain in.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
What you’ll pay
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Outside joints across North Ayrshire
In North Ayrshire, gutter sealing work takes in houses, flats and commercial buildings, in Irvine, Kilwinning and Saltcoats and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast decides the day.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, North Ayrshire included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. In the coastal parts of North Ayrshire, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Irvine: Historic houses such as Montgreenan, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building around Irvine goes. If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Deal with a drip before winter
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Signs you need gutter sealing
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
North Ayrshire questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
