About our gutter sealing in Scatsta
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and cracked sealant along roofline trims, we can help, on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Walls and rooflines in Scatsta
Scatsta 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. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
For jobs in and around Scatsta, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Scatsta is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Scatsta get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the amount of work. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Why act early in Scatsta
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

When to call us in Scatsta
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint will not last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
In and around Scatsta, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Scatsta questions
Does the coastal weather in Scatsta affect outside sealant?
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 Scatsta?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Scatsta 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 quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Low-level work is easiest. For anything higher, we will confirm what access is needed once we know more.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
