Questions from Forres
Does the coastal weather in Forres affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Forres station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you cover Forres?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Forres included.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Gutter sealing in Forres: local notes
Forres is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Forres station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to Castlehill Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

When to call us in Forres
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Schools such as Andersons Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
- How long to leave it before use
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Parking around Forres is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- 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 joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Forres
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. In Forres, wind and rain soon get through failed outside joints. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
