About our gutter sealing in Nethermill

Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you are dealing with fascia boards with gaps between them and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, we can put it right, on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and soffit joints alike.

External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Nethermill is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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. All the old material has to come out first.

Nethermill buildings and the weather

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.

For jobs in and around Nethermill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Roofline trims

Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.

Soffit joints

Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.

Common problems we fix in Nethermill

Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.

The problems people normally mention when they call include:

  • Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
  • Open joints in fascias and soffits
  • Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
  • Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last

Around Nethermill, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions to ask before booking

Nethermill: your questions answered

Can you do gutter sealing in Nethermill?

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Nethermill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.

Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Nethermill?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

How long before the joint can be used?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.

How long does the job take?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need.

The process

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Nethermill, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

  1. We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
  2. We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
  3. We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
  4. A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Leave it or put it right?

Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Look along the fascias for open joints
  • Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
  • Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
  • Keep downpipes clear

Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past 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 and that can cause damp inside.
