Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter sealing in Clestrain
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have internal damp traced to a gutter joint and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Clestrain, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Clestrain
Is Clestrain within the area you cover?
Yes, Clestrain is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Clestrain 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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Clestrain
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In an older home around Clestrain, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Colour picked to suit the job
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the size of the job. Around Clestrain, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Gutter sealing in Clestrain: local notes
Clestrain is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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.
Whether the job is in Clestrain itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
