How we handle gutter sealing in Westruther
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you have damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help, on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

FAQs for Westruther
Is gutter sealing in Westruther guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Westruther in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Westruther is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.

Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Resealing is generally enough.
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. When it splits, water can get behind.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
Walls and rooflines in Westruther
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Westruther, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- You choose the colour before work begins
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When to call us in Westruther
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
Homes close to Old Parish Church and Churchyard include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
