How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit, where one is available.
How we handle gutter sealing in Boddam
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. We work on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Boddam depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Guttering that needs replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
When to call us in Boddam
End caps get knocked or pushed by water. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunrossness Parish Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint

Boddam: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Boddam?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Boddam affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, often alongside gutter joints. Each joint is cleaned and sealed.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In a place like Boddam, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Outside joints around Boddam
Boddam is within about 1 mile of 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. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In and around Boddam, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
