How we handle gutter sealing in Gilshochill
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. For a tenement in Gilshochill, repairs to shared parts are normally agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Outside joints around Gilshochill
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for gutter, fascia and roofline joints to keep out. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it.
Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 2 miles south, show how far back building around Gilshochill goes. For landlords with property near Gilshochill station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

When to call us in Gilshochill
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
Schools such as John Paul Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How it works

Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. Inside a flat in Gilshochill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Getting ready for the visit

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
Questions from Gilshochill
I let a flat near Gilshochill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Gilshochill normally arranged?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
