About our gutter sealing in Gayfield
We work across Gayfield on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward, and for higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed. Common call-outs are for dripping gutter ends and rain getting in around a garage door, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and soffit joints.
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 Gayfield, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Gayfield: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Gayfield any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Gayfield?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Problems with the roof covering
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Gutter sealing in Gayfield: local notes
Gayfield is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
If you live in an older home near Broughton Place Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as London Street Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
