Gutter Sealing in Little France
We cover Little France for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends

Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
About our gutter sealing in Little France
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. If you have quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can help.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Little France, work on shared parts of a tenement is usually agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Little France
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
If you let a flat or house near Shawfair station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours from start to finish. For a tenement in Little France, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

FAQs for Little France
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawfair station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Little France get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Little France?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little France
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Little France, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Little France buildings and the weather
Little France is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
If you live in an older home near Robin Chapel, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liberton High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
