Gutter sealing in Liberton, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include leaking gutter joints and stop ends and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last, across uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
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. For a building in Liberton, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Liberton, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.

Advice
Do you need gutter sealing in Liberton?
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
For landlords with property near Shawfair station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.

Gutter sealing in Liberton: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 2.7 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Liberton 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 live in an older home near Liberton Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Liberton High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
