Rubislaw Gutter Sealing
Gutter sealing for Rubislaw and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Gutter sealing in Rubislaw
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. Common call-outs are for fascia boards with gaps between them and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, across gutter end caps, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. In Rubislaw, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.
What gutter sealing looks like in Rubislaw
Rubislaw 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.
Schools such as Albyn School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Rubislaw: your questions answered
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Rubislaw get organised?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work in Rubislaw?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealing a sagging joint won’t last. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How we quote for gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Rubislaw
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Homes close to Rubislaw Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
