Gutter sealing in Stichill, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you’re dealing with internal damp traced to a gutter joint and drips from gutter joints and end caps, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How we quote for gutter sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
How the job changes by surface
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.

Can tenants book the work?

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a place like Stichill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Gutter sealing in Stichill: local notes
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near United Presbyterian Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Kelso High School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
