About our gutter sealing in St Leonard's
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Typical jobs include old sealant on roofline trims that has split and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
In a Scottish city tenement, the roof, gutters and outside walls are shared by all the flats. In St Leonard's, work on shared parts of a tenement is usually agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant generally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Common problems we fix in St Leonard's
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Dripping gutter ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- Access and height
- The size of the job

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken

Outside joints around St Leonard's
St Leonard's is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. The title deeds set out which parts are common.

Whitefoord House, about 0.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around St Leonard's, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
