Walls and rooflines in Dean Village
Dean Village is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Music School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How we handle gutter sealing in Dean Village
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We work on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and internal damp traced to a gutter joint.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Dean Village, 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.

What else we do in Dean Village
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Dean Village
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Dean Village and across Edinburgh. Several sites can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. When their seal fails, they drip.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.

- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints

What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Private landlords in Dean Village must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Questions from Dean Village
Does the coastal weather in Dean Village affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Dean Village usually arranged?
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. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
