How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Gutter sealing in Tweedbank, done properly
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed with an exterior sealant. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames, and people most often call us about drips from gutter joints and end caps and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Tweedbank questions
Can you do gutter sealing in Tweedbank?
Yes, Tweedbank is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Tweedbank within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across the Scottish Borders.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Make sure downpipes are not blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Landlord and commercial work in Tweedbank
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In an older home around Tweedbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Gutter sealing in Tweedbank: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Tweedbank station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Tweedbank is about 2 miles south-east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Every kind of property in Tweedbank is covered for gutter sealing. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. 89 places in the Scottish Borders are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page (29 miles or so).

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access from start to finish. 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, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Guttering that needs replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
