About our gutter sealing in Sandness
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on gutter end caps, gutter joints and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about water running down the wall below the gutter and end caps that drip every time it rains.
In and around a place like Sandness, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
Walls and rooflines in Sandness
Sandness is within about 1 mile of 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. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on gutter, fascia and roofline joints.
If you live in an older home near St Margaret's Kirk and Graveyard, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Sandness is in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, we can carry out gutter sealing at your property. Our the Shetland Islands coverage runs to 63 places, and Sandness is one of them.

Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Sandness, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and tell you if something else is needed. Around Sandness, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Boards that have decayed or split
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint

Common questions in Sandness
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Sandness?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you do gutter sealing in Sandness?
Yes, Sandness is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Usually, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the seal holds.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across the Shetland Islands.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
When to call us in Sandness
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
In and around Sandness, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
