Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Carrick Knowe
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on garage door frames, gutter joints and roofline trims, and people most often call us about quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. For a tenement in Carrick Knowe, repairs to shared parts are usually agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What gutter sealing looks like in Carrick Knowe
Carrick Knowe is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
If you look after a building such as Scotus Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Anne's Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Rented homes near South Gyle station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Blocked downpipes
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Carrick Knowe, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Carrick Knowe
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Gyle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Carrick Knowe get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we will tell you.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Carrick Knowe?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
