Gutter sealing in Oxgangs, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on a garage door frame and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, we can help.
Scotland’s cities also have plenty of modern blocks with rendered or clad walls and sealed movement joints. In Oxgangs, those joints dry out over time and let water in behind the render or cladding.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Oxgangs, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Outside joints around Oxgangs
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 3.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Oxgangs has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Firrhill High School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 3.5 miles north-east, show how far back building around Oxgangs goes.

Do you need gutter sealing in Oxgangs?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
The most common problems we see are:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Private landlords in Oxgangs must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter end caps
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
What affects the quote in Oxgangs

- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Questions from Oxgangs
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Oxgangs get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Oxgangs?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you cover Oxgangs?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Oxgangs.
