Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Gutter sealing in Balfour, done properly
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. We are often asked to deal with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on garage door frames, gutter joints and soffit joints.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Balfour is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Outside joints around Balfour
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
In and around Balfour, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you live in an older home near St Comgall's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Advice
Why deal with it now?
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 has failed, we will tell you. Around Balfour, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
