Gutter sealing in Lochend
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant along roofline trims and open joints in fascias and soffits.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In Lochend, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Outside joints around Lochend
Lochend is within about 1 mile 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mannafields Christian School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Ninian and Triduana's Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Lochend
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Lochend get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. 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 fit new guttering?
We don’t replace gutters or fascias. We will tell you if the gutter needs replacing so you can call the right trade.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.

What we are called out for in Lochend
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lochend
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. Private landlords in Lochend must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
