About our gutter sealing in Embo
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. If you’re dealing with end caps that drip every time it rains and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Walls and rooflines in Embo
Embo is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dornoch Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What affects the quote in Embo
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Embo depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common problems we fix in Embo
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
Rented homes near Golspie station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Embo questions
I let a flat near Golspie station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Embo 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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
