How we handle gutter sealing in Bridge of Orchy

For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include failed sealant on a garage door frame and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, across gutter end caps, gutter joints and roofline trims.

In and around a place like Bridge of Orchy, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

  • How much there is to do
  • The product the joint needs
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Asking for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bridge of Orchy

A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Around Bridge of Orchy, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
  • Glance at the soffit joints now and then
  • Don’t leave a sagging gutter
  • Clear leaves and moss from the gutters

If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.

Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems with the roof covering
  • Boards that have decayed or split
  • Downpipes that are blocked or broken

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
