Gutter Sealing in Hightae

- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Why act early in Hightae
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Hightae
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter joints.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Hightae need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Gutter sealing in Hightae: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Letting a property close to Lockerbie station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Homes close to Hightae Parish Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
