Outside joints around Wester Broom
Wester Broom is close to 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. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
If you look after a building such as Forrester High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Caroline Park, about 3.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wester Broom.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- A gutter length that has split
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
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.
How we quote for gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a city area like Wester Broom, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not 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 are there.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Wester Broom
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Wester Broom get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Gyle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
