About our gutter sealing in Colinton
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We work on garage door frames, roofline trims and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are old gutter sealant that has let go and garage door frames letting rain in.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Colinton, work on shared parts of a tenement is usually agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Colinton
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Colinton get organised?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kingsknowe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you come to Colinton?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Colinton.
Outside joints around Colinton
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 4.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Colinton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Colinton Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Do you need gutter sealing in Colinton?
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
Rented homes near Kingsknowe station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. It’s removed and renewed.
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
