What gutter sealing looks like in St Abbs
St Abbs is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near St Abbs Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

About our gutter sealing in St Abbs

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Do you need gutter sealing in St Abbs?
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Letting a property close to Reston station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened

That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours in most cases. 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.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
