Outside joints around Boleside
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. With historic houses such as Peel House (about 4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boleside as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and water running down the wall below the gutter.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Related advice
Do you need gutter sealing in Boleside?
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often don’t last long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
