- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Watch for drips in a downpour
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
How we handle gutter sealing in Kippen
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on a garage door frame and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Kippen depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Kippen
Will you come out to Kippen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Kippen in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kippen is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Will the old sealant be removed?

What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low-level work is easiest. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters before we book.
Can you fit new guttering?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Kippen may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.

Advice
Gutter sealing in Kippen: local notes
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Kippen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
