Our gutter sealing service in Moray
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are drips from gutter joints and end caps and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Pricing in Moray
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Gutter sealing across Moray: local notes
Across Moray, from Elgin, Buckie and Forres outwards, outside joints range from old gutters to modern movement joints. All of them move, so they need a flexible sealant at the right depth.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including Moray. Parts of Moray are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Elgin: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elgin High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Elgin station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.

Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why it fails
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Dripping gutter ends
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Moray: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
