What happens on the day

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Friston is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
  2. Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
  3. We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
  4. Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
  5. The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Gutter sealing in Friston

A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you are dealing with stop ends leaking at the end of a run and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

In a smaller place like Friston, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Honest limits

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:

  • Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
  • Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
  • Boards that have decayed or split

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Soffit joints
  • uPVC fascias
  • Garage door frames
  • Roofline trims
  • Gutter end caps
  • Gutter joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Do you need gutter sealing in Friston?

Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
  • Old gutter sealant that has let go
  • Garage door frames letting rain in
  • Open joints in fascias and soffits

Rented homes near Eastbourne station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

How to choose a mastic man

Landlord and commercial work in Friston

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Gutter sealing in Friston: local notes

Friston is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (about 3.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Friston as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.

Homes close to The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Leave it or put it right?

A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. In a smaller place like Friston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
