Common problems we fix in Grimbister
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Dripping gutter ends
Whether the job is in Grimbister itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Gutter sealing in Grimbister
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, not replacing the gutter. We work on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and rain getting in around a garage door.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What gutter sealing looks like in Grimbister
Grimbister is close to 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
In and around Grimbister, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Grimbister is about 5 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Grimbister to the outskirts, we cover gutter sealing for every kind of property. Grimbister is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
All of KW15 is covered for gutter sealing. We also cover Finstown (1 mile north-west), Heddle (1 mile west), Germiston (2 miles south-west), Kirbister (4 miles south) and Norseman (4 miles north). If you’re somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning.
Local landmarks in Grimbister
Nearby you’ll also find Balfour Hospital (4.9 miles east) and Kirkwall Castle (4.9 miles east). For a walk, there’s Loch of Wasdale and Hill of Heddle.
Why act early in Grimbister
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame generally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Grimbister depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter joints
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Roofline trims
- Garage door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Keep ladders off the guttering
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
What else we do in Grimbister
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
