How we handle gutter sealing in Jock's Lodge
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on garage door frames, roofline trims and gutter joints, and people most often call us about damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Jock's Lodge, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jock's Lodge
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Jock's Lodge, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Tidy, careful work
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Questions from Jock's Lodge
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Jock's Lodge?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you cover Jock's Lodge?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Jock's Lodge included.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Walls and rooflines in Jock's Lodge
Jock's Lodge is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you look after a building such as Mannafields Christian School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Willowbrae Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What we are called out for in Jock's Lodge
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Dripping gutter ends
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
