Walls and rooflines in Carmichael
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Gutter sealing in Carmichael
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you have rain getting in around a garage door and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last, we can put it right, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter joints alike.
In and around a place like Carmichael, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.

Common problems we fix in Carmichael
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
If you live in an older home near Carmichael Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
