Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Gorseness
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and rain getting in around a garage door, we can put it right.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Gorseness is planned around the weather. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Gorseness and everywhere else we cover.

What guarantee comes with the job?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Gutter sealing in Gorseness: local notes
Gorseness 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. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on gutter, fascia and roofline joints.
If you live in an older home near North Hackland Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. In and around Gorseness, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Gorseness is about 6 miles north of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Every kind of property in Gorseness can book us for gutter sealing, old or new, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a place like Gorseness, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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 joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
We seal fascia joints, not replace the boards. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.
