How we handle gutter sealing in Piershill
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and rain getting in around a garage door, across garage door frames, gutter joints and soffit joints.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Piershill, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Piershill and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes 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. In Piershill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Questions from Piershill
Does the coastal weather in Piershill affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Piershill normally arranged?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Edinburgh.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Gutter sealing in Piershill: local notes
Piershill is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portobello High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Clear the gutters once or twice a year, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.

Do you need gutter sealing in Piershill?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
If you live in an older home near Willowbrae Parish Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
