About gutter sealing in Edinburgh

Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about end caps that drip every time it rains and garage door frames letting rain in.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and the area is left clean.

We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.

What affects the price in Edinburgh

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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Walls and rooflines across Edinburgh

Our gutter sealing work across Edinburgh covers homes, blocks and business premises, in Leith, Bonnington and Greenside and well beyond. Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so the work is planned around the weather.

Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Edinburgh includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Edinburgh: If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Homes close to St Cuthbert's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Have sagging gutters refixed early
Watch for drips in a downpour

Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.

Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

Signs you need gutter sealing

Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.

Look out for these signs:

Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Old gutter sealant that has let go
Open joints in fascias and soffits

What sealant work can’t fix

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

Downpipes that are blocked or broken
Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
Guttering that needs replacing

How the job changes by surface

Soffit joints

Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit.

Gutter end caps

A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.

Edinburgh questions

Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?

Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Where do you work from?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Edinburgh.

Will you leave a mess?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
