Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Clachan
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. Typical jobs include rain getting in around a garage door and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, on garage door frames, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Clachan and across Argyll and Bute.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Clachan
Will you come out to Clachan?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Clachan any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Outside joints around Clachan
Clachan 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. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Whether the job is in Clachan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Clachan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Deal with a drip before winter
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Clachan
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
