Gutter Sealing in Scalloway
Professional gutter sealing in and around Scalloway, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
What we’re called out for in Scalloway
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
For an older house near a landmark such as Methodist Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Gutter sealing in Scalloway, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for drips from gutter joints and end caps and old gutter sealant that has let go, across gutter end caps, soffit joints and roofline trims.
Stone walls need a stone-friendly sealant, as acetoxy products can attack some stone. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Water left in a gutter tests every joint.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems with the roof covering
- A gutter length that has split
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. For a place like Scalloway, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What happens if it’s left?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around Scalloway, 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Scalloway buildings and the weather
Scalloway is within about 1 mile of 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Scalloway, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Scalloway: your questions answered
Is Scalloway in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Scalloway 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.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Scalloway?
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.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Should I try it myself first?

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.
