What gutter sealing looks like in Hook's Cross
Historic houses like Aston Bury (about 0.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hook's Cross 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you let a flat or house near Watton-At-Stone station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barnwell School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
The joint between frame and brickwork moves and weathers. We use a sealant made for outdoor joints.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Hook's Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is

Why act early in Hook's Cross
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hook's Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Hook's Cross questions
I let a flat near Watton-At-Stone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Hook's Cross for gutter sealing?
Yes, Hook's Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you clear out my gutters?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hook's Cross.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Yes, as long as the gutter itself is in good order. The joint is cleaned and dried first so the sealant bonds.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Blocked downpipes
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- Problems with the roof covering
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Soffit joints
- Roofline trims
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- Gutter end caps
- uPVC fascias
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
