Gutter Sealing in Keiss

- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Gutter sealing in Keiss
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We are often asked to deal with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last, across garage door frames, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Surface by surface
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
Outside joints around Keiss
Keiss 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. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Keiss, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Keiss is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Keiss get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland.
Here we cover the KW1 postcode area for gutter sealing. Streets in the area include High Street, South Street and Robertson Crescent. Nearby, we also carry out gutter sealing in Reiss (4 miles south), Ackergillshore (4 miles south), Hastigrow (5 miles west), Staxigoe (6 miles south-east) and Haster (6 miles south). For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Keiss
Is Keiss within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do gutter sealing in Keiss?
Yes, Keiss is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why deal with it now?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In an older home around Keiss, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we’re called out for in Keiss
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up so we check the cause first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
In the older streets around Church of Scotland, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outside jobs in Keiss need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
