Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle gutter sealing in Inbhir Aora
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, on roofline trims, gutter joints and soffit joints.
In and around a place like Inbhir Aora, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. We cut it out and reseal.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
FAQs for Inbhir Aora
Is Inbhir Aora in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Inbhir Aora is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Does the coastal weather in Inbhir Aora affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote

When something else is needed

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In a place like Inbhir Aora, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Inbhir Aora buildings and the weather

That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Inbhir Aora is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.

When to call us in Inbhir Aora
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near St. Malieu Hall, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
