Gutter sealing across Midlothian: what to expect

We work across Midlothian on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed. Typical jobs include streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and drips from gutter joints and end caps, across gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job.

We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
The joint is dried before sealing.
A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

What you will pay

A few things move the cost up or down: 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.

Walls and rooflines across Midlothian

Midlothian has everything from period brickwork to rendered and clad modern buildings. The joints between different materials are the usual weak points.

Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Midlothian included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Along the coast in Midlothian, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Bonnyrigg: For landlords with property near Eskbank station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Lasswade High School Centre? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

Blocked downpipes
Fascias that need replacing
Gutters that have dropped or pulled away

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Surface by surface

Garage door frames

The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.

Gutter end caps

A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.

How we quote for gutter sealing

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

Which sealant suits the joint
Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The amount of work
Any working-time requirements on site

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Old gutter sealant that has let go

Questions from Midlothian

What do you need from me for a quote?

A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

Is there any odour?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

What guarantee comes with the job?

Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.

How long should I leave it?

Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

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

Do you install new fascias or gutters?

No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.

Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?

Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
