Tong buildings and the weather
Tong is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Whether the job is in Tong itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Tong
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you have failed sealant on a garage door frame and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can help.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Tong
Do you cover Tong for gutter sealing?
Yes, Tong is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Does the coastal weather in Tong affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How long does gutter sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.

Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
When to call us in Tong
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
In and around Tong, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Blocked downpipes
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. Outside jobs in Tong need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
