Gutter sealing in Broughton, done properly
Across Broughton, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We’re often asked to deal with leaking gutter joints and stop ends and dripping gutter ends, on garage door frames, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. In Broughton, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we’re called out for in Broughton
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as London Street Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the size of the job. Parking in city streets around Broughton can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t 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.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Broughton: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Broughton?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What gutter sealing looks like in Broughton
Broughton is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. 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, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Homes close to St Cuthbert's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why act early in Broughton
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Broughton, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
