Gutter sealing in Mail
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. Typical jobs include fascia boards with gaps between them and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on garage door frames, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What gutter sealing looks like in Mail
Mail is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Homes close to Mail Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Mail
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Mail
Do you cover Mail for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mail is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Does the coastal weather in Mail 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. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we will say so.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fit new guttering?
That is not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
