Gutter sealing in Garvald
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We are often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, across soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Around Garvald, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Outside joints around Garvald
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Garvald, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A gutter length that has split
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Boards that have decayed or split

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a place like Garvald, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
