Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Gutter sealing in Kirbister
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter is not damaged. Typical jobs include old gutter sealant that has let go and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across uPVC fascias, gutter joints and garage door frames.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Kirbister and across the Orkney Islands.

Outside joints around Kirbister
Kirbister 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. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
Around Kirbister, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirbister
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Around Kirbister, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Advice
Common questions in Kirbister
Is Kirbister within the area you cover?
Yes, Kirbister is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Kirbister for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kirbister is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Our work is the joints and we will let you know if a board has failed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Kirbister
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
For jobs in and around Kirbister, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
