Craigcrook Gutter Sealing
Our applicators work in Craigcrook on sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Gutter sealing in Craigcrook
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you are dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can help, on soffit joints, gutter joints and garage door frames alike.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Craigcrook, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why act early in Craigcrook
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Craigcrook, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What gutter sealing looks like in Craigcrook
Craigcrook is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 1.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Craigcrook has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near South Gyle station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Schools such as The Mary Erskine School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Columba's Parish Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- A gutter length that has split

Questions from Craigcrook
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Craigcrook usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually 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.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Craigcrook?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Craigcrook and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you fit new guttering?
That’s not something we do. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
