DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Gutter sealing in Tom nan Ragh, done properly
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have open joints in fascias and soffits and rain getting in around a garage door, we can help.
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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tom nan Ragh and across Argyll and Bute.

Walls and rooflines in Tom nan Ragh
Tom nan Ragh is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around St Munn's Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Around Tom nan Ragh, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Tom nan Ragh
Is Tom nan Ragh within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Tom nan Ragh any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we’ll say so.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound. 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 send you a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
