Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Tenston
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are rain getting in around a garage door and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Tenston is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Tenston and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
Walls and rooflines in Tenston
Tenston is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on gutter, fascia and roofline joints.
Historic houses such as Skaill House, about 2.8 miles north-west, show how far back building around Tenston goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

FAQs for Tenston
Is Tenston in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Tenston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Tenston within the area you cover?
Yes. Tenston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on every job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does gutter sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What affects the quote in Tenston
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
If you’re in Tenston and need gutter sealing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
