About our gutter sealing in Braepark
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across garage door frames, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. For a tenement in Braepark, repairs to shared parts are generally agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a tenement in Braepark, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Why deal with it now?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In a tenement flat in Braepark, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We never seal over old sealant
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Walls and rooflines in Braepark
Braepark 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Caroline Park, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Braepark.

Common questions in Braepark
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Braepark generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Normally, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and clear debris we find nearby. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
