Gutter sealing in Bush Fair
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter is not damaged. We work on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are internal damp traced to a gutter joint and rain getting in around a garage door.
In and around Bush Fair, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. We cut it out and reseal.

Bush Fair: your questions answered
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Bush Fair?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Bush Fair may already be on their second or third set.
Do you cover smaller places like Bush Fair?
Yes, Bush Fair is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you fit new guttering?
That’s not something we do. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing will not last, and we’ll tell you.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bush Fair and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a smaller place like Bush Fair, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
When to call us in Bush Fair
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
For landlords with property near Harlow Town station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Outside joints around Bush Fair
Bush Fair is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. Homes here were built in phases, many of them in the post-war decades, so neighbouring houses often have rooflines and wall joints of the same age, wearing out at the same time. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Pear Tree Mead Academy? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around St Stephen, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
