Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Charleston, Dundee
Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for homes and businesses in Charleston and across Dundee. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Gutter sealing in Charleston, done properly
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you have wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Charleston, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking in city streets around Charleston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What gutter sealing looks like in Charleston
Charleston is within about 2 miles 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. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
For an older house near a landmark such as Lochee Baptist Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Charleston and across Dundee. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Charleston
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Rushed repairs often don’t last long.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Charleston
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Charleston?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
