How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Stromness may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Gutter sealing in Stromness, done properly
A drip at a gutter joint is easy to ignore, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and dripping gutter ends.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Stromness depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Stromness
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
Around Stromness, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Stromness
Is Stromness within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Stromness affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Stromness
For anyone letting property in or around Stromness, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Stromness
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote

- Whether it’s a home or a business

What gutter sealing looks like in Stromness
Stromness is close to 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 weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on gutter, fascia and roofline joints.
If you look after a building such as stromness primary school, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.
