How we handle gutter sealing in Lochee
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. If you have water running down the wall below the gutter and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, we can help, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims alike.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Lochee, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking in city streets around Lochee can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Lochee buildings and the weather
Lochee is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Lochee Baptist Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What’s near Lochee
In Lochee, that means homes and buildings near Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, Cox Branch Library and Balgay Hill. Lochee’s nearest station is Dundee station, roughly 1.9 miles south-east.

What we’re called out for in Lochee
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Common questions in Lochee
Does the coastal weather in Lochee affect outside sealant?
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.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Lochee?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you come to Lochee?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Surface by surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. We cut it out and reseal.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Lochee
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Lochee, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
