Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Cottown
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on garage door frames, gutter joints and uPVC fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping where gutter sections meet and end caps that drip every time it rains.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Cottown is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cottown
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

FAQs for Cottown
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Cottown in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Cottown is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Cottown need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Cottown
When to call us in Cottown
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Rain getting in around a garage door
For landlords with property near Kintore station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Outside joints around Cottown
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kemnay Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
