Signs you need gutter sealing in Hermiston
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
In and around Hermiston, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our gutter sealing in Hermiston
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Common call-outs are for dripping gutter ends and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across soffit joints, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
In and around a place like Hermiston, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outside jobs in Hermiston need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What gutter sealing looks like in Hermiston
Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Park station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hermiston
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
