Gutter sealing in Lochore, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and dripping gutter ends, across roofline trims, garage door frames and gutter end caps.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Lochore depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

FAQs for Lochore
Will you come out to Lochore?
Yes, Lochore 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lochgelly station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant usually stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris near the joints, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochore

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What gutter sealing looks like in Lochore
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Lochgelly station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Ballingry Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When to call us in Lochore
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Schools such as Lochgelly High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Boards that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
