How we handle gutter sealing in Cove Bay
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Cove Bay, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Inside a flat in Cove Bay, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Outside joints around Cove Bay
Cove Bay is close to 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. Aberdeen’s nickname, the Granite City, comes from its stone buildings, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip.
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as Lochside Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Cove Bay questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Cove Bay?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you fit new guttering?
We do not replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cove Bay
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
