How we handle gutter sealing in Innerwick
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We are often asked to deal with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, across soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Innerwick is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Innerwick depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Your questions about gutter sealing in Innerwick
Is Innerwick within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Dunbar station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Do you need gutter sealing in Innerwick?
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
If you live in an older home near Innerwick Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Innerwick
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Around Innerwick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What else we do in Innerwick
Outside joints around Innerwick
Innerwick is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For landlords with property near Dunbar station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
