About our gutter sealing in Newstead
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are open joints in fascias and soffits and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. For a place like Newstead, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.

Common questions in Newstead
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tweedbank station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Newstead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly with a suitable exterior sealant.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Outside joints around Newstead
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Around Newstead, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for gutter sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Newstead
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
Letting a property close to Tweedbank station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
