Gutter sealing in Riddrie
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. Common call-outs are for earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, on roofline trims, gutter joints and soffit joints.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. In Riddrie, work on shared parts of a tenement is normally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Riddrie
Do you work for landlords with property near Alexandra Parade station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Riddrie get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Riddrie, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Riddrie, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for gutter, fascia and roofline joints to keep out. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's Secondary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
