When to call us in Rigside
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
The most common problems we see are:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Around Rigside, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Gutter sealing in Rigside, done properly

Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Around Rigside, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What gutter sealing looks like in Rigside
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For jobs in and around Rigside, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Rigside: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Rigside?
Yes, Rigside is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Rigside?
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.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed before we book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Advice
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
