Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Craigentinny
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on roofline trims, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Craigentinny, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Craigentinny
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Craigentinny, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Craigentinny, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Gutter sealing in Craigentinny: local notes
Craigentinny is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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 Restalrig Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Craigentinny?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.

What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
We do not replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you so you can call the right trade.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
