About our gutter sealing in Clate
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you are dealing with fascia boards with gaps between them and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Clate, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Guttering that needs replacing

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Clate
Can you do gutter sealing in Clate?
Yes, Clate 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.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Clate any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

What gutter sealing looks like in Clate
Clate 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.
Whether the job is in Clate itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Clate, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Clate is about 13 miles north of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Clate to the outskirts, gutter sealing is available for homes and businesses alike. Clate is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover for gutter sealing.

Quotes for gutter sealing in Clate
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Outside jobs in Clate need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
