Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle gutter sealing in Portessie
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you’re dealing with damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, we can put it right, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and garage door frames alike.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Portessie is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

Outside joints around Portessie
Portessie is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 Buckie High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Portessie is about 1 mile north-east of Buckie, in Moray. We provide gutter sealing to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Portessie and nearby. Our area takes in 58 places across Moray. Aberdeen is on our list too, around 48 miles away.
Work in AB56 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover properties on Station Road, Samson Avenue and Chancellor Road and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Portessie: Ianstown (1 mile south-west), Rathven (1 mile south), Buckie (1 mile south-west), Findochty (2 miles north-east) and Buckpool (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Elgin (14 miles west), Lossiemouth (13 miles west), Keith (10 miles south), Ashgrove (14 miles west), Portknockie (3 miles east) and Cullen (5 miles east).

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Common problems we fix in Portessie
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Rain getting in around a garage door
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Portessie
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. In a place like Portessie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- A choice of colours where the product allows
Questions from Portessie
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Portessie any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Portessie?
Yes. Portessie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Portessie?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Problems with the roof covering
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
