Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Northfield, Edinburgh
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Northfield? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- End caps that drip every time it rains
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
About our gutter sealing in Northfield
We seal leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascia and soffit joints plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. If you’re dealing with garage door frames letting rain in and drips from gutter joints and end caps, we can put it right, on soffit joints, gutter joints and gutter end caps alike.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Northfield, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Northfield
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Parking in city streets around Northfield can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Northfield questions
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Northfield 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 do not.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you fit new guttering?
No, we reseal joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Leave it or put it right?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Private landlords in Northfield must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Walls and rooflines in Northfield
Northfield is within about 2 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Portobello High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around Willowbrae Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
