Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Trinity
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you’re dealing with wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and garage door frames letting rain in, we can help.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Trinity, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Trinity questions
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Trinity generally arranged?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Trinity, along with the rest of our area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In a tenement flat in Trinity, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Advice
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Problems with the roof covering
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Trinity
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
Trinity buildings and the weather
Trinity is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 1.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Trinity has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Trinity Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

When to call us in Trinity
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- End caps that drip every time it rains
In the older streets around Newhaven Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
