Gutter sealing in The Grange, done properly
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you have fascia boards with gaps between them and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, we can help.
On a four-storey tenement, gutter joints are a long way from the street, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. In The Grange, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In The Grange, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Outside joints around The Grange
The Grange is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
In the older streets around St Catherine's Argyle Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Surface by surface
Garage door frames
Garage door frames let rain in when their sealant fails. We cut it out and reseal.
Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in The Grange can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Common questions in The Grange
Does the coastal weather in The Grange affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in The Grange usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you cover The Grange?
Yes, we do. The Grange is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
When to call us in The Grange
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Managing a site like Sciennes Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water does not sit on the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
