We cover Edgehead for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Gutter sealing in Edgehead
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you’re dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can help.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.

Gutter sealing in Edgehead: local notes
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. 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.
Managing a site like Newbattle Community High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Newtongrange station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Common problems we fix in Edgehead
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- End caps that drip every time it rains
If you live in an older home near Cranston Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on how much there is to do. Around Edgehead, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What affects the quote in Edgehead
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
