Gutter sealing in Riccarton
Across Riccarton, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm what access is needed. If you have trim joints where the sealant has failed and end caps that drip every time it rains, we can put it right, on gutter joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Riccarton and across Edinburgh.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Riccarton
Is Riccarton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What does gutter sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
When to call us in Riccarton
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
In and around Riccarton, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What gutter sealing looks like in Riccarton
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Park station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. Outdoor work around Riccarton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
