Gutter sealing in Contin, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. If you have stop ends leaking at the end of a run and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can put it right.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Outside joints around Contin
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Contin Church Of Scotland Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What we’re called out for in Contin
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Letting a property close to Garve station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement

Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
