Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit.
How we handle gutter sealing in Church Hill
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We work on gutter joints, gutter end caps and soffit joints, and people most often call us about dripping gutter ends and internal damp traced to a gutter joint.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Church Hill, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Church Hill and across Edinburgh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common questions in Church Hill
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Church Hill normally arranged?
The owners of the flats normally 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. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Do you come to Church Hill?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Church Hill included.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Church Hill
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near Churchill Theatre, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Related advice
Walls and rooflines in Church Hill
Church Hill is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns 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.
Schools such as Iain Tomlin School of Music are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Church Hill
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In a tenement flat in Church Hill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
