How we handle gutter sealing in Cottown
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant on a garage door frame and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you have insurance?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Where do you work from?

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 an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Cottown may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need gutter sealing in Cottown
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
Leith Hall, about 3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cottown, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before you book

What else we do in Cottown
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Outside joints around Cottown
Historic houses like Leith Hall (about 3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Cottown has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
In and around Cottown, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
