Gutter sealing in Staxigoe
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for trim joints where the sealant has failed and water running down the wall below the gutter, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and soffit joints.
In and around a place like Staxigoe, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Gutter joints and wall joints take a battering, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.

Gutter sealing in Staxigoe: local notes
Staxigoe 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 is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Wick station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.

Do you need gutter sealing in Staxigoe?
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping, so the gutter needs refixing first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Schools such as Wick High School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Staxigoe questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Staxigoe any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work in Staxigoe?
We do. Our applicators work in Staxigoe.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. A full clean of the gutters isn’t part of it.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Not for long. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why it’s worth doing now in Staxigoe
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. Where the gutter is in good order and only a joint leaks, resealing is the sensible fix. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. Around Staxigoe, 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
