Kirkton of Craig buildings and the weather
Kirkton of Craig is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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.
Schools such as Montrose Academy are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Gutter sealing in Kirkton of Craig, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not 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 garage door frames letting rain in and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, across soffit joints, garage door frames and gutter joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Kirkton of Craig depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Kirkton of Craig
Kirkton of Craig: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Kirkton of Craig any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Kirkton of Craig?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
How long does gutter sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Kirkton of Craig
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
The most common problems we see are:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Rented homes near Montrose station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
