About our gutter sealing in Glencraig
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have internal damp traced to a gutter joint and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Glencraig: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Glencraig?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Glencraig is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Glencraig?
Yes. Glencraig is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does gutter sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
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. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What gutter sealing looks like in Glencraig
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Lochgelly High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Deal with a drip before winter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
