How we handle gutter sealing in Tongue
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. Common call-outs are for damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and rain getting in around a garage door, across gutter end caps, garage door frames and gutter joints.
In and around a place like Tongue, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tongue and across Highland.

Why act early in Tongue
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In a place like Tongue, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice

- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Tongue
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Dripping gutter ends
Around Tongue, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

Outside joints around Tongue
Tongue 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
