About our gutter sealing in Leachkin
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. Typical jobs include earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across gutter end caps, roofline trims and garage door frames.
In and around a place like Leachkin, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re 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.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What gutter sealing looks like in Leachkin
Leachkin is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
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. Managing a site like Inverness High School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Leachkin
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Leachkin questions
I let a flat near Inverness station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Leachkin within the area you cover?
Yes, Leachkin is covered. 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.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outdoor work around Leachkin depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
