Gutter sealing in Inverleith
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. We work on roofline trims, garage door frames and soffit joints, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. In Inverleith, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inverleith
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In a tenement flat in Inverleith, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.

Common questions in Inverleith
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Inverleith any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Inverleith generally arranged?
It generally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart so it needs refixing before sealing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Outside joints around Inverleith
Inverleith is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 1.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Inverleith has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to Inverleith Parish Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. When it splits, water can get behind.
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Common problems we fix in Inverleith
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
If you look after a building such as Broughton High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Inverleith, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
