About our gutter sealing in Balcombe Lane
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it won’t fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you’re dealing with damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can put it right, on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Balcombe Lane: your questions answered
Will you come out to Balcombe Lane?
Yes, Balcombe Lane is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Balcombe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Low gutters are simple to reach. If it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm the access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. We close them with a suitable sealant.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Balcombe Lane buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Tyes Place (about 3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Balcombe Lane has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Balcombe station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere as small as Balcombe Lane, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the quote in Balcombe Lane
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
If you’re in Balcombe Lane and need gutter sealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing will not help. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Balcombe Lane can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
