Gutter sealing in Edinburgh Waterfront, done properly
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you’re dealing with water running down the wall below the gutter and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Edinburgh Waterfront, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Edinburgh Waterfront and across Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a city area like Edinburgh Waterfront, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

Do you need gutter sealing in Edinburgh Waterfront?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
In the older streets around Granton Congregational Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What affects the quote in Edinburgh Waterfront
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Questions from Edinburgh Waterfront
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Edinburgh Waterfront affect outside sealant?
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.
What does gutter sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last and we’ll say so.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Edinburgh Waterfront.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Gutter sealing in Edinburgh Waterfront: local notes
Edinburgh Waterfront 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. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 0.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Edinburgh Waterfront has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. If you look after a building such as Ainslie Park High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. When their seal fails, they drip.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit.
