Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Parking in city streets around Timber Bush can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.

About our gutter sealing in Timber Bush
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. If you’re dealing with water dripping where gutter sections meet and garage door frames letting rain in, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, and a slow drip can stain and soak the stone for a long time before it’s spotted. In Timber Bush, access needs planning, and work on shared parts may need the other owners’ agreement.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

FAQs for Timber Bush
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Timber Bush?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
It won’t last. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
Replacement is not our trade. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you come to Timber Bush?
Yes, we do. Timber Bush is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.

Timber Bush buildings and the weather
Timber Bush is within about 1 mile 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. 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, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. If you look after a building such as Leith School of Art, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Timber Bush
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Rushed repairs often don’t last long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
In the older streets around St Ninians Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for gutter sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Timber Bush, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
