How we handle gutter sealing in Gorebridge
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include garage door frames letting rain in and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims.
In and around a place like Gorebridge, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outside jobs in Gorebridge need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about gutter sealing in Gorebridge
Will you come out to Gorebridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Gorebridge in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Gorebridge is part of that. 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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
We do. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Around Gorebridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Walls and rooflines in Gorebridge
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 3.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Gorebridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as Gorebridge Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Newbattle Community High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Gorebridge station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
