How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Gutter sealing in East Craigs
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. If you have garage door frames letting rain in and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can help, whatever the surface.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. In East Craigs, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in East Craigs and across Edinburgh. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in East Craigs, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- We check our work before we leave.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Do you need gutter sealing in East Craigs?
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

East Craigs: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like East Craigs any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in East Craigs?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you cover East Craigs?
We do. Our applicators work in East Craigs.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Walls and rooflines in East Craigs
East Craigs is within about 2 miles 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. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Historic houses such as Caroline Park, about 3.5 miles north-east, show how far back building around East Craigs goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
