How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outdoor work around Fankerton 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 look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How we handle gutter sealing in Fankerton
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant along roofline trims and failed sealant on a garage door frame, on roofline trims, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
In and around a place like Fankerton, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What gutter sealing looks like in Fankerton
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Denny High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What else we do in Fankerton
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Questions from Fankerton
Do you cover smaller places like Fankerton?
Yes, Fankerton is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Larbert station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Fankerton and the rest of Falkirk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

Do you need gutter sealing in Fankerton?
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
For landlords with property near Larbert station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
