Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
Kyleakin buildings and the weather
Kyleakin is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Kyle of Lochalsh station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Landlord and commercial work in Kyleakin
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In an older home around Kyleakin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Kyleakin questions
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Kyleakin any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Kyleakin within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Kyleakin, along with the rest of our area.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
