How we handle gutter sealing in Upper Coll
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. Typical jobs include drips from gutter joints and end caps and garage door frames letting rain in, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
Questions from Upper Coll
Do you cover Upper Coll for gutter sealing?
Yes, Upper Coll is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Upper Coll within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Common problems we fix in Upper Coll
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
For jobs in and around Upper Coll, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

The process
There isn’t 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. Outside jobs in Upper Coll need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- We check our work before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Walls and rooflines in Upper Coll
Upper Coll 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. Upper Coll is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around Upper Coll, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
