Why it’s worth doing now in Baltasound
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Gutter sealing in Baltasound
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on garage door frames, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about dripping gutter ends and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What gutter sealing looks like in Baltasound
Baltasound is within about 2 miles of 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Kirkhoull include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Baltasound is in the Shetland Islands. We carry out gutter sealing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Baltasound and nearby. Baltasound is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands where we work for gutter sealing.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
When to call us in Baltasound
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
If you look after a building such as Baltasound Junior High School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Common questions in Baltasound
Is Baltasound in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Baltasound is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Baltasound?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Baltasound?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
Soffit joints
Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Baltasound need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- 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’re there.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
