How we handle gutter sealing in Saughton
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. For a building in Saughton, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Saughton: your questions answered
Do you cover Saughton for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Saughton is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Saughton get organised?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?

How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Saughton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Gutter sealing in Saughton: local notes
With historic houses such as Caroline Park (about 3.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Saughton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
If you let a flat or house near Kingsknowe station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Forrester High School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

When to call us in Saughton
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Homes close to St Salvador's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
How it works
You don’t 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. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Saughton, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
