Toab: your questions answered
Is Toab in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Toab is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Toab any different?
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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Toab?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
How we handle gutter sealing in Toab
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. If you are dealing with leaking gutter joints and stop ends and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can help, on gutter joints, garage door frames and soffit joints alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, stone and harled cottages, farm buildings and newer houses often stand exposed to wind and rain. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard, so they need a sealant that moves with the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Toab
Why act early in Toab
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. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Toab
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Gutter sealing in Toab: local notes
Toab is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to St Andrew's Kirk include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Toab is about 5 miles south-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Jobs in Toab get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 51 places across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Work in KW17 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your property is on Liddie Road, Shore Road and Churchyard Road or a nearby road, we can help. If you’re just outside Toab, we cover Tankerness (1 mile north), Upper Sanday (2 miles south), St Mary's (4 miles south-west), Kirkwall (5 miles north-west) and Blackhill (6 miles north-west). Being one of the Orkney Islands’s larger places, Toab has homes, rented property and businesses of every kind. Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. Somewhere like Toab may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Toab
If you manage several properties in or around Toab, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need gutter sealing in Toab?
Overflowing gutters can look like leaking joints. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Dripping gutter ends
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Around Toab, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Blocked downpipes
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
