Ferniehill Gutter Sealing
Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for homes and businesses in Ferniehill and across Edinburgh. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
How we handle gutter sealing in Ferniehill
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. Typical jobs include rain getting in around a garage door and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, across soffit joints, gutter joints and gutter end caps.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Ferniehill, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed.
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.

Walls and rooflines in Ferniehill
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

Letting a property close to Shawfair station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Do you need gutter sealing in Ferniehill?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liberton High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. In a city area like Ferniehill, 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.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Blocked downpipes
- A gutter length that has split

Where we work in Ferniehill
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Ferniehill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
