How we handle gutter sealing in Wanlockhead
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have open joints in fascias and soffits and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Gutter sealing in Wanlockhead: 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wanlockhead Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Wanlockhead, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Wanlockhead
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Around Wanlockhead, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Wanlockhead
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Wanlockhead
Is Wanlockhead 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.
What guarantee comes with gutter sealing in Wanlockhead?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Fascias that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
