Gutter sealing in Balado, done properly
We work across Balado on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed. If you are dealing with end caps that drip every time it rains and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Do you need gutter sealing in Balado?
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
If you look after a building such as Kinross High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run from start to finish. Somewhere like Balado may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Why act early in Balado
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. In a place like Balado, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why Balado customers choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

Balado: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in Balado guaranteed?
All our work, in Balado and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do gutter sealing in Balado?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balado is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Gutter sealing in Balado: local notes
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
