How we handle gutter sealing in Stenness
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on uPVC fascias, roofline trims and garage door frames, and people most often call us about internal damp traced to a gutter joint and dripping gutter ends.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Stenness need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Stenness: your questions answered
Can you do gutter sealing in Stenness?
Yes, Stenness is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Stenness within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal the joints, not replace the boards and we’ll let you know if a board has failed.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC fascias
Gaps in fascias spoil the roofline. A neat bead closes them up.
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Resealing is normally enough.
Do you need gutter sealing in Stenness?
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
In and around Stenness, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What gutter sealing looks like in Stenness
Stenness 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 give us as much notice as you can.
Homes close to Stenness Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Stenness is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Every kind of property in Stenness can book us for gutter sealing. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Stenness is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
