Walls and rooflines in Alnwickhill
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Melville Castle, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Alnwickhill. Schools such as Gracemount High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Gutter sealing in Alnwickhill
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We’re often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, across garage door frames, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. In Alnwickhill, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Alnwickhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.

What we are called out for in Alnwickhill
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up so we check the cause first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
For landlords with property near Shawfair station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Common questions in Alnwickhill
Is Alnwickhill in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Alnwickhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Alnwickhill?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Alnwickhill?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.
