- The product the joint needs

What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Gutter sealing in Loaningfoot, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We are often asked to deal with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and drips from gutter joints and end caps, across garage door frames, gutter end caps and soffit joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Loaningfoot depends on the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What gutter sealing looks like in Loaningfoot
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Around Loaningfoot, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Common problems we fix in Loaningfoot
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Dripping gutter ends
Managing a site like Dumfries High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
