How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. Inside a flat in Broughty Ferry, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Gutter sealing in Broughty Ferry, done properly
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. If you are dealing with streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can put it right, on roofline trims, gutter end caps and garage door frames alike.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. In Broughty Ferry, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What else we do in Broughty Ferry
Your questions about gutter sealing in Broughty Ferry
Does the coastal weather in Broughty Ferry affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Broughty Ferry?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Broughty Ferry?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards and we will let you know if a board has failed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What gutter sealing looks like in Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry 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. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Dundee sits on the north bank of the Tay, and much of its older housing is sandstone tenements, so gutter, fascia and roofline joints on walls facing the water can take plenty of weather.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grove Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Queen Street Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Broughty Ferry
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Dripping gutter ends
Letting a property close to Broughty Ferry station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
