What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Cockenzie and Port Seton
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Common call-outs are for drips from gutter joints and end caps and cracked sealant along roofline trims, on gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Cockenzie and Port Seton is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Walls and rooflines in Cockenzie and Port Seton
Cockenzie and Port Seton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
Letting a property close to Prestonpans station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to Chalmers Memorial Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Preston Lodge High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. We clean, dry and reseal them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockenzie and Port Seton
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Cockenzie and Port Seton, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look along the fascias for open joints
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A gutter length that has split
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Problems with the roof covering
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Cockenzie and Port Seton
- Gutter joints
- Soffit joints
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. Around Cockenzie and Port Seton, 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.
