What gutter sealing looks like in Back
Back is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Back, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our gutter sealing in Back
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We’re often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and garage door frames letting rain in, across soffit joints, gutter joints and garage door frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Back need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When to call us in Back
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
For jobs in and around Back, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Guttering that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
Back: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Back?
Yes, Back is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Back any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Back and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Landlords and agents in Back can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. Around Back, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
