How we handle gutter sealing in Gogar
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include gaps along fascia and soffit joints and failed sealant on a garage door frame, across soffit joints, garage door frames and gutter joints.
In and around a place like Gogar, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Gogar and across Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, 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 damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Gogar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
What gutter sealing looks like in Gogar
Gogar is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Edinburgh Gateway station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you live in an older home near Gogar Kirk, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
