Gutter sealing in Hockenden
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and garage door frames letting rain in, across roofline trims, gutter joints and garage door frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Hockenden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hockenden as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Hockenden
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Hockenden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

Garage door frames
Resealing a garage door frame keeps rain and draughts out.
When to call us in Hockenden
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Water that can’t drain works its way through a weak joint and drips through.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
For landlords with property near Swanley station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- What product goes in the joint

Hockenden buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hockenden as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around St Mary the Virgin, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Horizon Primary Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Hockenden: your questions answered
I let a flat near Swanley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Hockenden for gutter sealing?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. A split or warped section needs replacing.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why act early in Hockenden
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. In a small place like Hockenden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We agree the colour with you first
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
