Gutter sealing in Kinnesswood
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We are often asked to deal with rain getting in around a garage door and water dripping where gutter sections meet, across gutter joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outdoor work around Kinnesswood depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Kinnesswood buildings and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.
In and around Kinnesswood, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What else we do in Kinnesswood
Do you need gutter sealing in Kinnesswood?
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
In the older streets around Easter Balgedie church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

FAQs for Kinnesswood

Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Kinnesswood?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
We don’t replace gutters or fascias. We will tell you if the gutter needs replacing so you can call the right trade.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
