Gutter Sealing in Tranent
Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for homes and businesses in Tranent and across East Lothian. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Tranent
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. If you are dealing with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and garage door frames letting rain in, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

We clean the joints we are sealing and clear debris we find nearby. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Tranent?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Blocked downpipes
- Fascias that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Walls and rooflines in Tranent
Tranent 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. With historic houses such as Hamilton House (about 1.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tranent as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Prestonpans station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Hamilton House, about 1.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tranent, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Managing a site like Ross High School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Tranent, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
