Gutter sealing in Penicuik, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, roofline trims and soffit joints, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in around a garage door and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, and a town like Penicuik gets its share of wind and rain. Gaps in gutter joints, fascias and wall joints are where damp starts.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In Penicuik, wind and rain soon get through failed outside joints. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters is not part of it.

Advice
Signs you need gutter sealing in Penicuik
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
In and around Penicuik, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include

- Is VAT in the price?

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Gutter sealing in Penicuik: local notes
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. 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 Beeslack Community High School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
