About our gutter sealing in Reiss
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you have wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Reiss depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Walls and rooflines in Reiss
Reiss 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you let a flat or house near Wick station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Reiss is about 16 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Every kind of property in Reiss can book us for gutter sealing. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Reiss is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.

Common questions in Reiss
Does the coastal weather in Reiss affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Reiss?
Yes, Reiss is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. We will confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not for long. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Reiss?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
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.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it. In an older home around Reiss, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Full insurance on every job

Signs you need gutter sealing in Reiss
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up so we check the cause first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
Around Reiss, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Fascias that need replacing
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
