Gutter sealing in Forss, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include internal damp traced to a gutter joint and cracked sealant along roofline trims, across gutter joints, garage door frames and soffit joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Forss as everywhere else we work.

Gutter sealing in Forss: local notes
Forss 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Thurso station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In and around Forss, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Forss is about 4 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Forss get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Forss is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Common questions in Forss
Do you work for landlords with property near Thurso station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Forss affect outside sealant?
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.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work in Forss?
Yes. We cover Forss and the rest of Highland. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In an older home around Forss, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. A neat bead closes them up.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
