Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Balerno
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. 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 old gutter sealant that has let go and trim joints where the sealant has failed, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and gutter joints.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Balerno is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What sealant work can’t fix

What gutter sealing looks like in Balerno
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Balerno Community High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Curriehill station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Around Balerno, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Balerno
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
Look out for these signs:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Homes close to St Mungo's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Balerno
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We quote each job on its own. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Balerno: your questions answered
I let a flat near Curriehill station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Balerno within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Balerno?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
