Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Ellen's Glen
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. We work on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. In Ellen's Glen, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it has failed, we will tell you. For landlords in Ellen's Glen, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
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.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We agree the colour with you first
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We are fully insured

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Ellen's Glen buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Ellen's Glen 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
Rented homes near Shawfair station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Historic houses such as Melville Castle, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building around Ellen's Glen goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Managing a site like Liberton High School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job.

Common questions in Ellen's Glen
Do you cover Ellen's Glen for gutter sealing?
Yes, Ellen's Glen is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Ellen's Glen get organised?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Ellen's Glen?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
