Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Oxnam, Scottish Borders
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Oxnam? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
How we handle gutter sealing in Oxnam
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We are often asked to deal with failed sealant on a garage door frame and cracked sealant along roofline trims, across gutter joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Oxnam may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit, where one is available.
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Oxnam
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
In and around Oxnam, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Gutter sealing in Oxnam: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.
If you live in an older home near Oxnam Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
