About our gutter sealing in Fettercairn
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We work on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are drips from gutter joints and end caps and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
In and around a place like Fettercairn, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Outside joints around Fettercairn
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Fettercairn Parish Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In an older home around Fettercairn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. We cut it out and reseal.
What we’re called out for in Fettercairn
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Rented homes near Laurencekirk station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Is Fettercairn within the area you cover?
Yes, Fettercairn is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you clean gutters?
Only around the joints we seal, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Sealing a sagging joint will not last. A gutter installer needs to refix it.

We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
