What gutter sealing looks like in East Saltoun
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Saltoun Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. In and around East Saltoun, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run from start to finish. Around East Saltoun, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.

What happens if it’s left?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it has failed, we will tell you. In an older home around East Saltoun, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
