Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Hestingott
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. If you’re dealing with garage door frames letting rain in and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Walls and rooflines in Hestingott
Hestingott 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. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Around Hestingott, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What else we do in Hestingott
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.

Common problems we fix in Hestingott
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint will not last so the brackets need attention first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Dripping gutter ends
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
If you live in an older home near Cross Kirk, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
