About gutter sealing in the Orkney Islands
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and roofline trims, and people most often call us about fascia boards with gaps between them and failed sealant on a garage door frame.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How we quote
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Gutter sealing across the Orkney Islands: local notes
From Kirkwall, Stromness and Finstown to its smaller places, buildings across the Orkney Islands have walls, gutters and rooflines of every age. Each needs a sealant that can move, laid at the right depth.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across the Orkney Islands. Along the coast in the Orkney Islands, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that’s where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Kirkwall: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkwall Grammar School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around Paterson Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What affects the quote in the Orkney Islands
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Problems with the roof covering
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
Surface by surface
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. They’re sealed tidily in a suitable colour.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Common questions in the Orkney Islands
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a matching colour.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
We don’t replace gutters or fascias. We will tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
You get our 12-month guarantee to all our work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
