About our gutter sealing in Old Philpstoun
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have cracked sealant along roofline trims and dripping gutter ends, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When to call us in Old Philpstoun
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Linlithgow station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Old Philpstoun buildings and the weather
Old Philpstoun is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Winchburgh Academy? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Pardovan Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Old Philpstoun
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Linlithgow station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Old Philpstoun?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris near the joints because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
