Gutter Sealing in Galashiels
Our applicators work in Galashiels on sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Galashiels, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

About our gutter sealing in Galashiels
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you have streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and rain getting in around a garage door, we can put it right.
Scottish towns like Galashiels mix older stone buildings with newer estates of brick, render and uPVC trims. Each has its own weak points: worn joints in old gutters, and dried-out movement joints in newer walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Galashiels and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Galashiels questions
Do you cover Galashiels for gutter sealing?
Yes, Galashiels is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Galashiels station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A gutter length that has split
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints
Why deal with it now?
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. If you live in a flat in Galashiels, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that is much harder to put right.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
