Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Gutter sealing in St Boswells, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you have old sealant on roofline trims that has split and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can put it right.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. For a place like St Boswells, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up if the boards are sound. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Outside joints around St Boswells
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
If you live in an older home near St Boswells Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Surface by surface
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. We clean, dry and reseal them.
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. When it splits, water can get behind.
When to call us in St Boswells
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
In and around St Boswells, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
