Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Forbes
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on gutter end caps, roofline trims and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are old sealant on roofline trims that has split and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Forbes
Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Forbes?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Forbes for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Forbes is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will tell you when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Forbes.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
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.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What gutter sealing looks like in Forbes
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Alford Parish West Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forbes
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Forbes
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
If you look after a building such as Alford Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
