Gutter joints
When a joint drips, the gutter is often still sound. Sealing the joint often stops it.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Pierowall
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and soffit joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping where gutter sections meet and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint.
In and around a place like Pierowall, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Pierowall
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Pierowall any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Pierowall within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No, we reseal joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pierowall
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 Pierowall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Gutter sealing in Pierowall: local notes
Pierowall is close to 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Pierowall, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near Baptist Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Pierowall is about 24 miles north of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW17 area, we cover gutter sealing for homes and businesses. Pierowall is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover for gutter sealing.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Pierowall need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
