Gutter sealing in Granton
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. If you are dealing with cracked sealant along roofline trims and water running down the wall below the gutter, we can help.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. In Granton, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Granton
Walls and rooflines in Granton
Granton is within about 1 mile 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Managing a site like Ainslie Park High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Granton Congregational Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on how much there is to do. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Granton, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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 won’t 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What we are called out for in Granton
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Questions from Granton
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Granton get organised?
It generally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.
Does the coastal weather in Granton affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our one-year guarantee to all our work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Generally, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Granton, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Surface by surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
