About our gutter sealing in Closeburn
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and dripping gutter ends, we can put it right, on garage door frames, gutter joints and uPVC fascias alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look along the fascias for open joints
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
Walls and rooflines in Closeburn
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
If you live in an older home near Closeburn Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Do you need gutter sealing in Closeburn?
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace Hall Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
