Gutter sealing in Busby, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you are dealing with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Busby, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. For a place like Busby, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Busby
I let a flat near Busby station. Can you help?

We don’t replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you so you can call the right trade.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
