Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Rattar
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you’re dealing with old gutter sealant that has let go and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What gutter sealing looks like in Rattar
Rattar is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Around Rattar, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Historic houses such as Castle of Mey, about 1.6 miles east, show how far back building around Rattar goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Rattar is about 10 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Rattar or further out, we cover gutter sealing for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Rattar is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work for gutter sealing.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Common questions in Rattar
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Rattar?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Rattar?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, gutter and fascia work included.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

What else we do in Rattar
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
