- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Pitreavie
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. Common call-outs are for open joints in fascias and soffits and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, across soffit joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Walls and rooflines in Pitreavie
Pitreavie 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. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Pittencrieff House (about 1.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pitreavie as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

FAQs for Pitreavie
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Pitreavie any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Rosyth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement is not our trade. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you so you can call the right trade.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitreavie
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around Pitreavie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Do you need gutter sealing in Pitreavie?
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
If you let a flat or house near Rosyth station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
