Gutter sealing in Burnfoot, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and soffit joints, and people most often call us about wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Burnfoot is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Burnfoot
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints

Why act early in Burnfoot
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In an older home around Burnfoot, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What affects the quote in Burnfoot
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
