Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. For landlords in Clermiston, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we handle gutter sealing in Clermiston
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. If you are dealing with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Clermiston, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need gutter sealing in Clermiston?
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
Rented homes near South Gyle station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Walls and rooflines in Clermiston
Clermiston is close to 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. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 2.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Clermiston has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Caroline Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clermiston, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you look after a building such as Craigmount High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Clermiston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Your questions about gutter sealing in Clermiston
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Clermiston?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Clermiston usually arranged?
The owners of the flats generally 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 don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
Roofline trims
We reseal trim joints with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
