About our gutter sealing in Fountainhall
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and gutter joints, and the jobs we see most are drips from gutter joints and end caps and old gutter sealant that has let go.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Fountainhall is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Fountainhall as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Fountainhall
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Stow station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Surface by surface
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. Outside jobs in Fountainhall 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What sealant do you use?

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around Fountainhall
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In and around Fountainhall, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
