Gutter sealing for Drimlabarra homes and businesses

Leave it or put it right?

Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Gutter sealing in Drimlabarra, done properly

A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. We work on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames, and people most often call us about stop ends leaking at the end of a run and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.

Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What gutter sealing looks like in Drimlabarra

Drimlabarra is within about 1 mile of 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.

Around Drimlabarra, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What sealant work cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Brackets that have snapped or loosened

DIY versus a professional finish

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

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.

How it works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a place like Drimlabarra, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
  2. Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
  3. The joints are dried.
  4. The sealant is applied and finished.
  5. The joints are checked once sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Common problems we fix in Drimlabarra

Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rain getting in around a garage door
  • Fascia boards with gaps between them
  • Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
  • Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint

In the older streets around Church Of Scotland, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Aftercare tips

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have sagging gutters refixed early
  • Keep the gutters clear of debris
  • Look at the gutters while it’s raining
  • Glance at the soffit joints now and then

Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.

If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
