Gutter sealing in Middlebie
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you are dealing with trim joints where the sealant has failed and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Middlebie buildings and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
In and around Middlebie, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Common problems we fix in Middlebie
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Garage door frames letting rain in
For an older house near a landmark such as Middlebie Parish Church And Churchyard, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
