Heiton buildings and the weather
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Heiton, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to Roxburgh Parish Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Gutter sealing in Heiton, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What else we do in Heiton
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outdoor work around Heiton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heiton
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why act early in Heiton
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. In a place like Heiton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Heiton: your questions answered

Do you have insurance?

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
