Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How we handle gutter sealing in Victoria Park
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We’re often asked to deal with open joints in fascias and soffits and end caps that drip every time it rains, on soffit joints, gutter joints and roofline trims.
Gutters and downpipes on tall city tenements are a long way up, so a leaking joint can run down the stone for months before anyone notices. For a building in Victoria Park, access is planned first, and shared parts may need the other owners to agree.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a tenement in Victoria Park, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Walls and rooflines in Victoria Park
Victoria Park is within about 1 mile of 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 Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 1.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Victoria Park goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Victoria Park is about 2 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Victoria Park get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Edinburgh, we cover 175 places, and Victoria Park is one of them.

What else we do in Victoria Park
Why it’s worth doing now in Victoria Park
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.

Common problems we fix in Victoria Park
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Victoria Park
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Victoria Park any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you cover Victoria Park?
Yes. We cover Victoria Park. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Blocked downpipes
- A gutter length that has split
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
