How we handle gutter sealing in Inveresk
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and soffit joints, and people most often call us about end caps that drip every time it rains and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Inveresk
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Schools such as Loretto School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Inveresk: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Inveresk?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.

What gutter sealing looks like in Inveresk
Inveresk is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Hamilton House (about 2.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Inveresk as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Musselburgh station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael’s Kirk, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

When it isn’t the sealant
