How we handle gutter sealing in Covington
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter isn’t damaged. We work on soffit joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a place like Covington, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we are called out for in Covington
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
If you let a flat or house near Carstairs station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
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.
Letting agents and landlords in Covington can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Outside joints around Covington
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 where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In the older streets around Covington Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Surface by surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we will say so.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
