Gutter sealing in Ellon
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ellon as everywhere else we work.

What gutter sealing looks like in Ellon
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In and around Ellon, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you look after a building such as Ellon Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Ellon is about 15 miles north of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Ellon depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Questions from Ellon
Will you come out to Ellon?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is gutter sealing in Ellon guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement isn’t our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In an older home around Ellon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
