Fort Matilda buildings and the weather
Fort Matilda is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Fort Matilda is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means gutter, fascia and roofline joints has to cope with a lot of rain.
Managing a site like Clydeview Academy? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Finnart St Paul’s Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

About our gutter sealing in Fort Matilda
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints rather than new guttering. 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, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and roofline trims alike.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Fort Matilda depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Fort Matilda and everywhere else we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Fully insured
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 12-month guarantee on every job
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outside jobs in Fort Matilda need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

When to call us in Fort Matilda
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
