What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a tenement in Greenside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Quotes for gutter sealing in Greenside
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

Walls and rooflines in Greenside
Greenside is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as St Cuthbert's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Greenside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Common questions in Greenside
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Greenside generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally 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.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Greenside and the rest of Edinburgh.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Common problems we fix in Greenside
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
