Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Merchiston
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. If you have quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can put it right.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. For a building in Merchiston, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need gutter sealing in Merchiston?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Outside joints around Merchiston
Merchiston is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 1.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Merchiston has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Boroughmuir High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Common questions in Merchiston
I let a flat near Haymarket station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Merchiston?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Merchiston, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Merchiston, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
