Gutter sealing in Warriston, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have garage door frames letting rain in and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. For a tenement in Warriston, repairs to shared parts are generally agreed between the owners, often through a property factor.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Warriston and across Edinburgh.

Common problems we fix in Warriston
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Common questions in Warriston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Warriston any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below and we will confirm what’s needed.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Warriston?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
You get our 12-month guarantee to all our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Walls and rooflines in Warriston
Warriston 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 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. The title deeds set out which parts are common.
If you live in an older home near St Serf's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Drummond Community High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Why act early in Warriston
Sealant will not clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Private landlords in Warriston must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a tenement in Warriston, 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 isn’t 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.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the roof covering
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. They’re sealed tidily in a suitable colour.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
