Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Howe Street
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where possible. We are often asked to deal with internal damp traced to a gutter joint and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, on garage door frames, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Howe Street is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Howe Street buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Chelmer Valley High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of SS Mary and Laurence, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Do you need gutter sealing in Howe Street?
Leaves and moss hold water in the gutter. Standing water finds the weakest joint and drips through.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
What affects the quote in Howe Street
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
If you’re in Howe Street and need gutter sealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. In a small place like Howe Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
