About our gutter sealing in Charlestown
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. If you have fascia boards with gaps between them and water running down the wall below the gutter, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, roofline trims and gutter joints alike.
In and around a place like Charlestown, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Charlestown buildings and the weather
Charlestown 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Old Allangrange House, about 2.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Charlestown, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Charlestown
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
Schools such as Inverness High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Charlestown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
