Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Murkle
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and fascia boards with gaps between them, across uPVC fascias, roofline trims and garage door frames.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Murkle is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

When to call us in Murkle
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often don’t last long for this reason.
The most common problems we see are:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Garage door frames letting rain in
Letting a property close to Thurso station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

Gutter sealing in Murkle: local notes
Murkle is close to 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Around Murkle, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Murkle is about 3 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Murkle or further out, we cover gutter sealing for every kind of property. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Murkle is one of them.

Close by, we work in Castletown (2 miles east), Thurso (3 miles west), Dunnet (4 miles north-east), Scrabster (4 miles west) and Glengolly (4 miles south-west). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.
Around Murkle
Murkle’s nearest station is Thurso station, about 3.2 miles west. Nearby you’ll also find Thurso Heritage Museum (3.6 miles west) and Dunbar Hospital (3.7 miles west). The countryside around Murkle includes St John's Loch.
Why act early in Murkle
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Murkle need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Questions from Murkle
Is Murkle within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Murkle?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
