About our gutter sealing in Mount Florida
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter isn’t damaged. Typical jobs include old sealant on roofline trims that has split and water running down the wall below the gutter, on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter joints.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Mount Florida, work on shared parts of a tenement is usually agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Mount Florida and across Glasgow.

Why deal with it now?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Mount Florida, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Mount Florida questions
Do you cover Mount Florida for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mount Florida is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Mount Florida get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Mount Florida.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that is what we find.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
Mount Florida buildings and the weather
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it.
If you let a flat or house near Mount Florida station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 2.4 miles west, show how far back building around Mount Florida goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Managing a site like Holyrood Secondary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Mount Florida, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
