Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in St Mary's, Orkney Islands
Gutter sealing across St Mary's and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Outside jobs in St Mary's 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 isn’t affected.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How we handle gutter sealing in St Mary's
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
External sealant needs dry surfaces, so outdoor work around St Mary's is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Gutter sealing in St Mary's: local notes
St Mary's 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around St Mary's, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
St Mary's is about 6 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of St Mary's to the outskirts, we cover gutter sealing for every kind of property. St Mary's is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work for gutter sealing.
Every address in KW17 is within our area for gutter sealing. Whether your property is on Station Square, St Mary's Road and Storehouse Place or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Nearby, we also carry out gutter sealing in Upper Sanday (3 miles east), Burray Village (4 miles south), Toab (4 miles north-east), Grimness (5 miles south) and St Margaret's Hope (5 miles south). St Mary's is among the bigger towns we cover in the Orkney Islands. For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Other landmarks nearby include Balfour Hospital (5.8 miles north) and Graemeshall Museum (0.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Gaitnip Hill and Loch of Ayre.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about gutter sealing in St Mary's
Does the coastal weather in St Mary's affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to St Mary's?
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. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our 12-month guarantee to all our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant, and we’ll tell you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover St Mary's.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Guttering that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in St Mary's
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Soffit joints
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- Gutter end caps
Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Common problems we fix in St Mary's
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
In and around St Mary's, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
