Walls and rooflines in Dechmont
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, 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.
If you live in an older home near Former Memorial Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Uphall station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Gutter sealing in Dechmont, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you’re dealing with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and garage door frames letting rain in, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dechmont as everywhere else we work.

Dechmont: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Uphall station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Dechmont within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we’ll say so.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dechmont
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. In an older home around Dechmont, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we are called out for in Dechmont
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
If you look after a building such as Deans Community High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
How the visit works
When we get to you, 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 an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outside jobs in Dechmont 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 is not affected.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
