About our gutter sealing in Parkhead
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. If you are dealing with trim joints where the sealant has failed and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can help.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Parkhead, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking in city streets around Parkhead can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.

Parkhead buildings and the weather
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Your title deeds say which parts are shared. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Merchiston Castle School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 3.7 miles north-east, show how far back building around Parkhead goes.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Parkhead
I let a flat near Kingsknowe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do gutter sealing in Parkhead?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Parkhead is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
