DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our gutter sealing in Auldcathie
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. Common call-outs are for gaps along fascia and soffit joints and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Auldcathie depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Auldcathie
Auldcathie: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Auldcathie affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Uphall station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does gutter sealing take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly with a suitable exterior sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why act early in Auldcathie
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In an older home around Auldcathie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we are called out for in Auldcathie
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
For landlords with property near Uphall station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. For a place like Auldcathie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
