- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep downpipes clear
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Gutter sealing in Kames, 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. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Kames
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
In and around Kames, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Advice
Your questions about gutter sealing in Kames
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Kames?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is Kames within the area you cover?
Yes, Kames is covered. 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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Kames?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Usually, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
What gutter sealing looks like in Kames
Kames is within about 1 mile 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
For jobs in and around Kames, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
