How we handle gutter sealing in Crossgates
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. If you have streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Crossgates, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Crossgates need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Crossgates buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Pittencrieff House (about 3.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Crossgates has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woodmill High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Crossgates Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Common problems we fix in Crossgates
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Garage door frames letting rain in
