Do you cover Cadder for gutter sealing?
Yes, Cadder is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a colour to suit.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Walls and rooflines in Cadder
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 2.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cadder as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Gilshochill station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Schools such as John Paul Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 2.1 miles south, show how far back building around Cadder goes.

How we quote for gutter sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

- We make sure everything is dry.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cadder
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
