Gutter sealing in Lochgilphead
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and rain getting in around a garage door, across garage door frames, gutter joints and soffit joints.
In and around a place like Lochgilphead, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Lochgilphead
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Dripping gutter ends
If you look after a building such as Lochgilphead High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Keep ladders off the guttering
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Walls and rooflines in Lochgilphead
Lochgilphead is within about 1 mile 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. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Lochgilphead is about 27 miles west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Jobs in Lochgilphead get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away

Your questions about gutter sealing in Lochgilphead
Can you do gutter sealing in Lochgilphead?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lochgilphead is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochgilphead?
Yes. Lochgilphead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That is not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lochgilphead
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a place like Lochgilphead, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
