How we handle gutter sealing in Ravelston
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and garage door frames letting rain in, we can help, on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints alike.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Ravelston, work on shared parts of a tenement is normally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint

Ravelston buildings and the weather
Ravelston 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. With historic houses such as Caroline Park (about 2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ravelston as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Columba's Parish Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like The Mary Erskine School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Questions from Ravelston
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Ravelston?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

What else we do in Ravelston
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
Why deal with it now?
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 Ravelston 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
