Why it’s worth doing now in Greendykes
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Greendykes

Gutter sealing in Greendykes, done properly
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you are dealing with quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can help.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. Around Greendykes, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Walls and rooflines in Greendykes
Greendykes is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you live in an older home near Robin Chapel, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken

Common problems we fix in Greendykes
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Castlebrae Community High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
FAQs for Greendykes
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Greendykes?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Greendykes?
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 generally the first to need attention.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, gutter and fascia work included.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a city area like Greendykes, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
