Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Finstown, Orkney Islands
We cover Finstown for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
What happens if it’s left?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Around Finstown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Finstown
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. Common call-outs are for damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and drips from gutter joints and end caps, across gutter end caps, garage door frames and uPVC fascias.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Finstown is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.

Advice
What gutter sealing looks like in Finstown
Finstown 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 is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Whether the job is in Finstown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Finstown, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Finstown questions
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Finstown any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Is Finstown within the area you cover?
Yes. Finstown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Finstown?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise 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.
