Moredun: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Moredun affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Moredun get organised?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Moredun
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We’re often asked to deal with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and soffit joints.
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 Moredun, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. For landlords in Moredun, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. For a tenement in Moredun, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- 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.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Common problems we fix in Moredun
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Homes close to Liberton Parish Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Before booking anyone

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Moredun buildings and the weather
Moredun is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces 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.
For landlords with property near Shawfair station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Schools such as Liberton High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.
