Gutter sealing in Shettleston, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you have water running down the wall below the gutter and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can help, on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and gutter end caps alike.
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 Shettleston, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Inside a flat in Shettleston, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.

What gutter sealing looks like in Shettleston
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastbank Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Provand's Lordship, about 2.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Shettleston, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Shettleston
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
Look out for these signs:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
For landlords with property near Carntyne station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shettleston
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a tenement flat in Shettleston, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Shettleston
I let a flat near Carntyne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Shettleston in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Shettleston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
