Our gutter sealing service in East Renfrewshire
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We’re often asked to deal with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and fascia boards with gaps between them, on gutter joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias.
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What preparation is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
What affects the quote in East Renfrewshire
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Questions from East Renfrewshire
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
