About gutter sealing in South Ayrshire

A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are open joints in fascias and soffits and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on how much there is to do.

First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Getting a quote

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

What’s near Ayr

Around Ayr, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Railway Tavern, Wellington School and St Andrews Church, among other places. There’s a railway station in Ayr itself: Ayr station. Nearby you’ll also find Tam Oshanter Museum (0.5 miles north-west) and Seafield Children's Hospital (0.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Ayr includes Carcluie Loch.

Outside joints across South Ayrshire

Across South Ayrshire, from Ayr, Troon and Prestwick outwards, outside joints range from old gutters to modern movement joints. All of them move, so they need a flexible sealant at the right depth.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including South Ayrshire. Parts of South Ayrshire are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Ayr: In the older streets around St Andrews Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Belmont Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Landlords and agents in South Ayrshire can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

How we quote for gutter sealing

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

The size of the job
Any mould that needs treating
How many areas need sealing
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

The problem you’ve noticed
Where the property is
If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A few photos by email, if you can

If you are in South Ayrshire and need gutter sealing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

Brackets that have snapped or loosened
Guttering that needs replacing
Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)

How the job changes by surface

Garage door frames

Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.

Gutter joints

Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.

Why act early?

Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound.

Your questions about gutter sealing in South Ayrshire

Can tenants book the work?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Can you fit new guttering?

No. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.

How long does gutter sealing take?

Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Bigger jobs take longer.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?

In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
