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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle gutter sealing in Dores
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on soffit joints, garage door frames and gutter joints, and people most often call us about cracked sealant along roofline trims and open joints in fascias and soffits.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Dores is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Do you need gutter sealing in Dores?
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near Dores Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Questions from Dores
Is Dores within the area you cover?
Yes, Dores is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Dores?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last, and we’ll tell you.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What gutter sealing looks like in Dores
Dores is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Dores, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dores
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
