Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Newmill
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Resealing the joint is often all it needs if the gutter isn’t damaged. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant along roofline trims and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can put it right, on uPVC fascias, gutter end caps and gutter joints alike.
In and around a place like Newmill, many buildings face open ground and take the full weather. Outside joints on exposed walls work hard.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Outdoor work around Newmill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What happens if it’s left?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In an older home around Newmill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Resealing is normally enough.

What we are called out for in Newmill
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Look out for any of the following:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
