About our gutter sealing in Balls Green
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We are often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and drips from gutter joints and end caps, on gutter joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Balls Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Balls Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Balls Green?
Yes, Balls Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Bentley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How do I get a quote for gutter sealing in Balls Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Balls Green and the rest of Essex.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Balls Green
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Around Balls Green, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Around Balls Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
