Gutter sealing in Clovenfords
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. 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, on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter end caps alike.
In and around a place like Clovenfords, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Keep downpipes clear
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Why it’s worth doing now in Clovenfords
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Clovenfords, 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.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Gutter sealing in Clovenfords: local notes
Historic houses like Peel House (about 1.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Clovenfords has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Galashiels Academy? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Galashiels station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
