- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it. Around Lochmaben, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

About our gutter sealing in Lochmaben
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on garage door frames, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant along roofline trims and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last and we’ll say so.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Can you match the sealant colour?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What gutter sealing looks like in Lochmaben
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 Lochmaben, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
