How we handle gutter sealing in Melvich
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and people most often call us about quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Melvich is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Melvich
Does the coastal weather in Melvich affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Melvich?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. A full clean of the gutters is not part of it.
Can you fit new guttering?
No, we reseal joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. Around Melvich, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
When to call us in Melvich
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
In and around Melvich, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.

Outside joints around Melvich
Melvich is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Whether the job is in Melvich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
