- Trim joints where the sealant has failed

- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep downpipes clear
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
About our gutter sealing in Fairmilehead
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. If you have dripping gutter ends and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, we can help, on roofline trims, gutter end caps and soffit joints alike.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. In Fairmilehead, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Fairmilehead
Is Fairmilehead in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Fairmilehead is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Fairmilehead get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Fairmilehead.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Gutter sealing in Fairmilehead: local notes
Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 3.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Fairmilehead has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
If you live in an older home near Fairmilehead Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Slateford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Do you need gutter sealing in Fairmilehead?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
If you look after a building such as Firrhill High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
