How we handle gutter sealing in Roseburn
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where one is available. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and water running down the wall below the gutter.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. For a tenement in Roseburn, repairs to shared parts are generally agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.

Advice
Outside joints around Roseburn
Roseburn 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. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 2.3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Roseburn has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to Murrayfield Parish Church include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. 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.
Roseburn is about 1 mile west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Roseburn gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh, from the larger towns to small villages.

Roseburn: your questions answered
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Roseburn any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Roseburn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
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.
Do you need gutter sealing in Roseburn?
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
If you look after a building such as St George's School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
