Clivocast Gutter Sealing
Professional gutter sealing in and around Clivocast, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Dripping gutter ends
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
What we’re called out for in Clivocast
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
In and around Clivocast, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle gutter sealing in Clivocast
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. Common call-outs are for wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, across soffit joints, gutter end caps and gutter joints.
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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.

Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
Clivocast buildings and the weather
Clivocast is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
If you live in an older home near Uyeasound Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Advice
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. 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 price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Clivocast
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Clivocast?
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. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Clivocast?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all 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.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealing a sagging joint will not last. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
