How we handle gutter sealing in Upper Sanday
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter joints, roofline trims and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.
In and around a place like Upper Sanday, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

FAQs for Upper Sanday
Is Upper Sanday within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all 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.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Upper Sanday?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What gutter sealing looks like in Upper Sanday
Upper Sanday 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. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
For jobs in and around Upper Sanday, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
