Common questions in Aberdeen
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Aberdeen usually arranged?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
How long does gutter sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will tell you when we quote.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work in Aberdeen?
Yes. We cover Aberdeen. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
About our gutter sealing in Aberdeen
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you have earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can help, on gutter joints, gutter end caps and soffit joints alike.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. For a building in Aberdeen, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in Aberdeen
Why act early in Aberdeen
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Aberdeen, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The visit itself normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the amount of work. Inside a flat in Aberdeen, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Aberdeen can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Aberdeen
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Dripping gutter ends
For an older house near a landmark such as Rutherford Church And Church Hall, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep ladders off the guttering
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Aberdeen buildings and the weather
Aberdeen is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and sealing against granite needs clean, sound edges and a sealant that suits stone.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aberdeen Grammar School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
