Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
How we handle gutter sealing in Crown
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. Common call-outs are for quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and open joints in fascias and soffits, across uPVC fascias, gutter joints and roofline trims.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Crown: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Crown any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

What gutter sealing looks like in Crown
Crown is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Schools such as Millburn Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Advice
What else we do in Crown
Why act early in Crown
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In an older home around Crown, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
