About our gutter sealing in Caiystane
We work across Caiystane on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm what access is needed. If you are dealing with drips from gutter joints and end caps and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. In Caiystane, work on shared parts of a tenement is usually agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

What else we do in Caiystane
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Caiystane
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Private landlords in Caiystane must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

Outside joints around Caiystane
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 3.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Caiystane has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Firrhill High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Slateford station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Homes close to Fairmilehead Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Caiystane, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Common questions in Caiystane
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Caiystane?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.

How long should I leave it?

Can new sealant go over the old?

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
