Gutter sealing in Sighthill, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant along roofline trims and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Sighthill, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
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.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the amount of work. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Sighthill, 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.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Your questions about gutter sealing in Sighthill
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Sighthill usually arranged?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wester Hailes station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Sighthill and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not for long. The joint will pull apart, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed before we book.
How we quote for gutter sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. An exterior sealant suits them.
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. They’re sealed tidily with a matching sealant where possible.

What else we do in Sighthill
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
What gutter sealing looks like in Sighthill
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 4.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Sighthill 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.
Caroline Park, about 4.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sighthill, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What we are called out for in Sighthill
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
For landlords with property near Wester Hailes station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. In a tenement flat in Sighthill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
