About our gutter sealing in Pollokshaws
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. If you are dealing with garage door frames letting rain in and end caps that drip every time it rains, we can help, on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps alike.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Pollokshaws, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollokshaws
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a city area like Pollokshaws, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Pollokshaws
Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Pollokshaws, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Gutter sealing in Pollokshaws: local notes
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. The title deeds set out which parts are common. With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 0.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pollokshaws as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Pollokshaws West station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 0.9 miles west, show how far back building around Pollokshaws goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What we are called out for in Pollokshaws
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shawlands Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Pollokshaws
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Pollokshaws: your questions answered
I let a flat near Pollokshaws West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Pollokshaws?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
