Gutter Sealing in Sprouston
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Sprouston? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Dripping gutter ends
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Sprouston
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and people most often call us about rain getting in around a garage door and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Sprouston depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Sprouston and across the Scottish Borders.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe

Outside joints around Sprouston
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Sprouston Parish Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

When to call us in Sprouston
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- End caps that drip every time it rains
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelso High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Deal with a drip before winter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
Questions from Sprouston
Is Sprouston within the area you cover?
Yes. Sprouston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do gutter sealing in Sprouston?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Sprouston is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
How long does gutter sealing take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Sprouston.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Sprouston and the rest of the Scottish Borders, along with the rest of our area.

What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In an older home around Sprouston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
