Gutter sealing in Fordyce, done properly
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint, on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Outside joints around Fordyce
Fordyce is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Schools such as Fordyce Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Fordyce is about 8 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. Jobs in Fordyce get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. If boards are damaged, we’ll tell you.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Fordyce
Is Fordyce within the area you cover?
Yes, Fordyce is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do gutter sealing in Fordyce?
Yes, Fordyce is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Why act early in Fordyce
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. 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.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
