Gutter Sealing in Polton
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Polton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Polton
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where one is available. If you have old sealant on roofline trims that has split and garage door frames letting rain in, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and garage door frames alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Gutter sealing in Polton: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Polton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lasswade High School Centre, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Polton
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
For an older house near a landmark such as St Leaonard's Episcopal Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What affects the quote in Polton
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Fascias that need replacing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
