How we handle gutter sealing in Altens
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We’re often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on gutter end caps, gutter joints and soffit joints.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. In Altens, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Altens buildings and the weather
Altens is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Homes close to Nigg Parish Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Altens
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. In a tenement flat in Altens, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
