Gutter sealing in East Lothian: how it works

Across East Lothian, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed. We work on gutter joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and failed sealant on a garage door frame.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.

First we agree which joints need sealing.
Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
The joints are dried.
We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
The joints are checked once sealed.

How we quote

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Gutter sealing across East Lothian: local notes

Homes across East Lothian range from older brick and stone to modern render and cladding. Where two materials meet is where water usually gets in, wherever the building is in East Lothian.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Lothian. East Lothian includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.

Musselburgh: Managing a site like Loretto School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Hamilton House, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Musselburgh.

Can I do it myself?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Signs you need gutter sealing

Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Failed sealant on a garage door frame

East Lothian questions

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

How much does gutter sealing cost in East Lothian?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What sealant do you use?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
