Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Slackbuie, Highland

Gutter sealing in Slackbuie
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on a garage door frame and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on gutter joints, garage door frames and roofline trims.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Slackbuie is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Slackbuie and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Slackbuie
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Rain getting in around a garage door
If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Slackbuie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit

Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What gutter sealing looks like in Slackbuie
Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex. Slackbuie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for gutter, fascia and roofline joints to keep out.
In and around Slackbuie, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
