About our gutter sealing in Greenhill
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. If you have trim joints where the sealant has failed and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can put it right.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. For a tenement in Greenhill, repairs to shared parts are normally agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep downpipes clear
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

Gutter sealing in Greenhill: local notes
Greenhill 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. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 1.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Greenhill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around Morningside United Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Haymarket station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Guttering that needs replacing

Greenhill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Greenhill get organised?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you need gutter sealing in Greenhill?
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Dripping gutter ends
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a tenement flat in Greenhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
