Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Melby
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We are often asked to deal with rain getting in around a garage door and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, on roofline trims, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

- Blocked downpipes
- Fascias that need replacing
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections

What else we do in Melby
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Melby, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Melby: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Melby?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Melby within the area you cover?
Yes, Melby is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Usually, if the gutter is sound. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the seal holds.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How we quote for gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Walls and rooflines in Melby
Melby is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Homes close to St Margaret's Kirk and Graveyard include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
