Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Ruchill
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter end caps, roofline trims and garage door frames, and people most often call us about water running down the wall below the gutter and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Ruchill, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep downpipes clear
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Inside a flat in Ruchill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
When to call us in Ruchill
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Managing a site like Hillhead High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is normally enough.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Ruchill buildings and the weather
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Historic houses like Tenement House (about 1.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Ruchill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Possilpark & Parkhouse station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Queen's Cross Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Questions from Ruchill
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Ruchill usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Possilpark & Parkhouse station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
We don’t replace gutters or fascias. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Ruchill and the rest of Glasgow, along with the rest of our area.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we will say so.
