Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Bonnington
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have drips from gutter joints and end caps and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, whatever the surface.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. For a building in Bonnington, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. For a tenement in Bonnington, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Bonnington questions
Does the coastal weather in Bonnington affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bonnington and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Bonnington included.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed.
Gutter sealing in Bonnington: local notes
Bonnington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bonnington
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Bonnington, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.

Do you need gutter sealing in Bonnington?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 1.3 miles south, show how far back building around Bonnington goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
How we quote for gutter sealing

- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required

- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
