About our gutter sealing in Bowden
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. Common call-outs are for dripping gutter ends and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on garage door frames, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Bowden is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Boards that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Bowden buildings and the weather
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Tweedbank station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bowden
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- 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.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common problems we fix in Bowden
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
In the older streets around Bowden Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
