Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Gutter sealing in Mid Yell
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Sealing it is quick if the gutter is otherwise in good order. Typical jobs include fascia boards with gaps between them and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, across roofline trims, gutter end caps and soffit joints.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around Mid Yell is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mid Yell
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. In a place like Mid Yell, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
Quotes for gutter sealing in Mid Yell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in Mid Yell need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Related advice
Signs you need gutter sealing in Mid Yell
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
In the older streets around St John's Church And Churchyard, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Mid Yell buildings and the weather
Mid Yell 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. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Schools such as Mid Yell Junior High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Mid Yell is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Mid Yell get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 63 places across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across ZE2 for gutter sealing. We cover properties on Links House, Sunny Side and Burrapark and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Camb (1 mile north), Aywick (3 miles south), Houbie (7 miles east), Burravoe (7 miles south) and Clivocast (8 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.
