Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Bigton, Shetland Islands
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Bigton? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Dripping gutter ends
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Gutter sealing in Bigton, done properly
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. If you have old sealant on roofline trims that has split and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can help, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter joints alike.
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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bigton as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Bigton
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we’re called out for in Bigton
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
If you live in an older home near St Ninian's Church And Gatepiers, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Common questions in Bigton
Does the coastal weather in Bigton affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover Bigton for gutter sealing?
Yes, Bigton is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Surface by surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Outside joints around Bigton
Bigton is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Bigton, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outdoor work around Bigton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
