How we quote for gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

How we handle gutter sealing in Old Drumchapel
Across Old Drumchapel, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have leaking gutter joints and stop ends and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Old Drumchapel, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.

Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.

Old Drumchapel: your questions answered
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Old Drumchapel generally arranged?
It generally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.
Is Old Drumchapel in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Old Drumchapel is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
What we are called out for in Old Drumchapel
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
If you look after a building such as Saint Andrew's High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Outside joints around Old Drumchapel
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
For landlords with property near Drumchapel station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as St David's Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Old Drumchapel, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
