Why act early in Ickleton
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ickleton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Gutter sealing in Ickleton, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Ickleton is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common questions in Ickleton
I let a flat near Great Chesterford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Ickleton for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ickleton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a colour to suit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Ickleton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Ickleton buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Audley End House (about 4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ickleton as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need gutter sealing in Ickleton?
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Rented homes near Great Chesterford station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
