Your questions about gutter sealing in Aithsetter
Will you come out to Aithsetter?
Yes. Aithsetter is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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.
Does the coastal weather in Aithsetter affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
Replacement isn’t our trade. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you.

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Resealing is generally enough.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outdoor work around Aithsetter depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
What we’re called out for in Aithsetter
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.

What else we do in Aithsetter
Outside joints around Aithsetter
Aithsetter is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In and around Aithsetter, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
