How we handle gutter sealing in Wester Hailes
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant along roofline trims and water running down the wall below the gutter, we can help, on roofline trims, gutter end caps and garage door frames alike.
Alongside their tenements, Scotland’s cities have modern blocks with render, cladding and movement joints. Around Wester Hailes, as anywhere, those joints dry out and crack over time, letting water behind the face of the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Wester Hailes questions
Do you cover Wester Hailes for gutter sealing?
Yes, Wester Hailes is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Wester Hailes?
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 don’t.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
Can you fit new guttering?
We don’t replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, gutter and fascia work included.

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What gutter sealing looks like in Wester Hailes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Problems with the roof covering
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
Do you need gutter sealing in Wester Hailes?
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
In the older streets around Wester Hailes Baptist Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking in city streets around Wester Hailes can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked 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.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
