Do you need gutter sealing in Athelstaneford?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
For landlords with property near Drem station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Gutter sealing in Athelstaneford, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Common call-outs are for internal damp traced to a gutter joint and fascia boards with gaps between them, across roofline trims, gutter joints and soffit joints.
In and around a place like Athelstaneford, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. In an older home around Athelstaneford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us

Walls and rooflines in Athelstaneford
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
