How we handle gutter sealing in Westfield
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you’re dealing with open joints in fascias and soffits and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can help, on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter joints alike.
Stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities share their roof, gutters and outside walls between every flat in the building. In Westfield, work on shared parts of a tenement is generally agreed between owners, often with a factor arranging it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Outside joints around Westfield
Westfield is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Your title deeds say which parts are shared.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balgreen Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Slateford station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a city area like Westfield, 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.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What affects the quote in Westfield
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
If you’re in Westfield and need gutter sealing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Questions from Westfield
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Westfield usually arranged?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does gutter sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How long does gutter sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Why act early in Westfield
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Westfield, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Westfield
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
When to call us in Westfield
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 2.7 miles east, show how far back building around Westfield goes.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
