Gutter sealing in Duddingston: local notes
Duddingston is within about 2 miles of 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. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 1.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Duddingston as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Rood High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Duddingston Kirk include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Gutter sealing in Duddingston
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We work on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames, and people most often call us about quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and garage door frames letting rain in.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Duddingston depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. For a place like Duddingston, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Do you need gutter sealing in Duddingston?
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Duddingston questions
I let a flat near Brunstane station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Duddingston any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
No. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We will confirm the access for higher gutters once we know more.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
