Outside joints around Hillyland
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
For landlords with property near Perth station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Schools such as Perth High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Gutter sealing in Hillyland
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can put it right.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Hillyland
Do you cover Hillyland for gutter sealing?
Yes, Hillyland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Perth station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In a place like Hillyland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience
- You choose the colour before work begins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a place like Hillyland, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
