Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Toogs
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you have streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and end caps that drip every time it rains, we can put it right, on gutter joints, garage door frames and uPVC fascias alike.
Older stone buildings need a sealant that suits the stone, not an acetoxy product that can mark or attack it. On newer homes, the movement joints and roofline trims are what need watching.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Toogs and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Toogs
Does the coastal weather in Toogs 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. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Toogs within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
We do not replace gutters or fascias. We’ll tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across the Shetland Islands.

Common problems we fix in Toogs
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
For an older house near a landmark such as Burra Parish Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Why deal with it now?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a place like Toogs, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Outside joints around Toogs
Toogs is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
In and around Toogs, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
