Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Innerleithen, Scottish Borders
Gutter and fascia joints in Innerleithen need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
About our gutter sealing in Innerleithen
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Innerleithen and across the Scottish Borders.

Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.

Walls and rooflines in Innerleithen
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

Landlord and commercial work in Innerleithen

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outdoor work around Innerleithen depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- 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.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we’re called out for in Innerleithen
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
For an older house near a landmark such as Innerleithen Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
