How we handle gutter sealing in D'Arcy
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on garage door frames, gutter joints and roofline trims, and people most often call us about gaps along fascia and soffit joints and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Yes, D'Arcy is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newtongrange station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
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’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we will confirm what’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris near the joints, so the sealant can bond. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
D'Arcy 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. Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 3.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around D'Arcy has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Newbattle Community High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Melville Castle, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around D'Arcy.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we’re called out for in D'Arcy
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Garage door frames letting rain in
If you let a flat or house near Newtongrange station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in D'Arcy need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. 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: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
