Gutter sealing in Selkirk, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We work on roofline trims, gutter joints and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are water dripping where gutter sections meet and cracked sealant along roofline trims.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Selkirk
Selkirk buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Bowhill House (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Selkirk 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. 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.
Homes close to Church Of Our Lady And St Joseph include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Galashiels station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere like Selkirk may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.

Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Do you need gutter sealing in Selkirk?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Garage door frames letting rain in
If you look after a building such as Selkirk High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Questions from Selkirk
Do you cover smaller places like Selkirk?
Yes. Selkirk is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Selkirk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
