Gutter sealing in Lochardil, done properly

A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you are dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can put it right, on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter joints alike.

Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lochardil and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?

Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. 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.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why us?

  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • We’re fully insured
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • 20+ years of sealant experience

Outside joints around Lochardil

Lochardil is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.

In and around Lochardil, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What we are called out for in Lochardil

Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
  • Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
  • Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
  • Failed sealant on a garage door frame

Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Before booking anyone

  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • What the cure time is

How to choose a mastic man

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep downpipes clear
  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
  • Keep ladders off the guttering

Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.

The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.

How the job changes by surface

Gutter end caps

End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.

Soffit joints

Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.

Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?

Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.

Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?

No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
