It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.

- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.

Gutter sealing in Aywick, done properly
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. We’re often asked to deal with drips from gutter joints and end caps and fascia boards with gaps between them, across gutter joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. Newer houses need their movement joints and roofline trims kept sound.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aywick and across the Shetland Islands.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need gutter sealing in Aywick?
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Dripping gutter ends
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
Windhouse, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Aywick, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Questions from Aywick
Can you do gutter sealing in Aywick?
Yes, Aywick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Aywick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does gutter sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clean the joints we are sealing and clear debris we find nearby. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Walls and rooflines in Aywick
Aywick is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Around Aywick, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Aywick is in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Aywick to the outskirts, gutter sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Aywick is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands where we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Quotes for gutter sealing in Aywick
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Aywick
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
