DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
About our gutter sealing in Silverburn
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. We are often asked to deal with open joints in fascias and soffits and failed sealant on a garage door frame, across uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Walls and rooflines in Silverburn
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Schools such as Penicuik High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Silverburn
Is there a guarantee on gutter sealing in Silverburn?

Will you come out to Silverburn?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Normally, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.

- Sagging gutters or broken brackets

What we are called out for in Silverburn
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
In and around Silverburn, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What else we do in Silverburn
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Surface by surface
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. Sealing them closes the gap.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Silverburn
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
