Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Clovenstone
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on roofline trims, garage door frames and soffit joints, and people most often call us about stop ends leaking at the end of a run and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Clovenstone, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Parking in city streets around Clovenstone can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.

Gutter sealing in Clovenstone: local notes
With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 4.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clovenstone as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
In the older streets around Wester Hailes Baptist Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Keep downpipes clear
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
What we’re called out for in Clovenstone
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
Rented homes near Wester Hailes station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Clovenstone questions
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Clovenstone?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
I let a flat near Wester Hailes station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Clovenstone and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
You get our one-year guarantee on every job.
