Gutter sealing in Lyness, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on gutter joints, uPVC fascias and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping where gutter sections meet and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Lyness depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us how to reach each wall, gutter and roofline.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Lyness
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
In and around Lyness, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- A gutter length that has split
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Different surfaces, different methods
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
Landlord and commercial work in Lyness
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Lyness may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Lyness buildings and the weather
Lyness 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. 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 Lyness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Low gutters are simple to reach. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
