What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

About our gutter sealing in Ballantrae
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and garage door frames letting rain in, across garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter end caps.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Ballantrae is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Ballantrae and across South Ayrshire.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need gutter sealing in Ballantrae?
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
If you live in an older home near Ballantrae Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Ballantrae
Is Ballantrae within the area you cover?
Yes. Ballantrae is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Ballantrae for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ballantrae is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you clean gutters?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Walls and rooflines in Ballantrae
Ballantrae is close to 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
