Gutter sealing in Lyne of Skene, done properly
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’re dealing with wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can help, on gutter end caps, gutter joints and roofline trims alike.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Lyne of Skene is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Walls and rooflines in Lyne of Skene
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Rented homes near Kintore station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What else we do in Lyne of Skene
Lyne of Skene: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lyne of Skene?
Yes, we do. 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 Kintore station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Lyne of Skene
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
In and around Lyne of Skene, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
