Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Gutter sealing in Canisbay, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant on a garage door frame and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, across gutter joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Canisbay depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Around Canisbay, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Gutter sealing in Canisbay: local notes
Canisbay 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. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Around Canisbay, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Canisbay is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Every kind of property in Canisbay can book us for gutter sealing, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Canisbay is one of them.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access from start to finish. Around Canisbay, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What we’re called out for in Canisbay
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For an older house near a landmark such as Canisbay Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Landlord and commercial work in Canisbay
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Canisbay
Is Canisbay within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Canisbay affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Canisbay and the rest of Highland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. We cut it out and reseal.
