How we handle gutter sealing in Govanhill
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you have earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and end caps that drip every time it rains, we can help, whatever the surface.
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. For a building in Govanhill, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a city area like Govanhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about any water getting in

What gutter sealing looks like in Govanhill
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
If you let a flat or house near Queens Park (Glasgow) station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Holyrood Secondary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. For landlords in Govanhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common questions in Govanhill
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Govanhill?
The owners of the flats generally 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 do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you work for landlords with property near Queens Park (Glasgow) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
