Gutter sealing in Newcraighall, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Typical jobs include wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and dripping gutter ends, across garage door frames, soffit joints and roofline trims.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. For a tenement in Newcraighall, repairs to shared parts are usually agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Newcraighall
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
For landlords with property near Newcraighall station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit.
Outside joints around Newcraighall
Newcraighall 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. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Melville Castle, about 3.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Newcraighall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portobello High School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Newcraighall questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newcraighall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Newcraighall?
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.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and clear debris we find nearby. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
Do you work in Newcraighall?
Yes. We work in Newcraighall. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Boards that have decayed or split
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter joints
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In a tenement flat in Newcraighall, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
