Gutter sealing across Brighton and Hove: what to expect
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. We work on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and end caps that drip every time it rains.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on the amount of work.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
How we quote
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Gutter sealing across Brighton and Hove: local notes
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to its smaller places, buildings across Brighton and Hove have walls, gutters and rooflines of every age. All of them move, so they need a flexible sealant at the right depth.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Brighton and Hove is planned around the weather. In the coastal parts of Brighton and Hove, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Brighton: For an older house near a landmark such as St Martin's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairlight Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
Joints between fascia boards can open over time. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
