Why act early in West End
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we will tell you. For landlords in West End, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why West End clients choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 20+ years of sealant experience

About our gutter sealing in West End
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We work on gutter joints, garage door frames and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are water dripping where gutter sections meet and stop ends leaking at the end of a run.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around West End, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in West End and across Edinburgh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Problems with the roof covering
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
Questions from West End
Does the coastal weather in West End affect outside sealant?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we’ll confirm what access is needed once we know more.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What gutter sealing looks like in West End
West End 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. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
In the older streets around 12 Palmerston Place Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Music School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Haymarket station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. Parking in city streets around West End 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.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive

Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
