Crathes buildings and the weather
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Crathes, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Crathes, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Crathes is about 13 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB31 area, our applicators can take on gutter sealing. Crathes is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire we cover. There’s also a page for Aberdeen, roughly 13 miles from Crathes.

Gutter sealing in Crathes, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and end caps that drip every time it rains, across gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep downpipes clear
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A gutter length that has split
- Blocked downpipes
- Problems with the roof covering
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally 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. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
