Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
When to call us in Black Crofts
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Dripping gutter ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
For an older house near a landmark such as Ardchattan Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In a place like Black Crofts, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

What gutter sealing looks like in Black Crofts
Black Crofts 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Letting a property close to Connel Ferry station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Black Crofts: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Black Crofts?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Connel Ferry station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
