Gutter sealing in Ravenstruther, done properly

It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. If you have water running down the wall below the gutter and failed sealant on a garage door frame, we can help.

External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Ravenstruther is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Quotes for gutter sealing in Ravenstruther

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The type of sealant required
  • Access and height

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What to tell us for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.

Leave it or put it right?

A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a place like Ravenstruther, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What you get with us

  • Fully insured
  • Colour agreed with you before any work starts

  • More than 20 years in sealant work

Common problems we fix in Ravenstruther

Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Old gutter sealant that has let go
  • Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
  • Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
  • Stop ends leaking at the end of a run

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • What the cure time is

How the visit works

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.

  1. First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
  2. The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
  3. We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention any tricky access

Getting a quote

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Gutter sealing in Ravenstruther: local notes

Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

If you let a flat or house near Carstairs station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Soffit joints

We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit.

uPVC fascias

Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Check the gutters during heavy rain
  • Deal with a drip before winter
  • Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
  • Check that water runs out of the downpipes

Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.

If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.

Can I do it myself?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
