What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Garthdee, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Gutter sealing in Garthdee
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Typical jobs include cracked sealant along roofline trims and garage door frames letting rain in, across gutter end caps, soffit joints and gutter joints.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. In Garthdee, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need gutter sealing in Garthdee?
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
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.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Gutter sealing in Garthdee: local notes
Garthdee 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. Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and sealing against granite needs clean, sound edges and a sealant that suits stone.
Historic houses such as Friendville, about 0.7 miles north, show how far back building around Garthdee goes. For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Garthdee is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Garthdee gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Aberdeen coverage runs to 63 places, Garthdee among them.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Blocked downpipes
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Garthdee: your questions answered
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Garthdee?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Garthdee any different?
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.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Garthdee?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That is not something we do. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
