Pleshey questions
Is Pleshey within the area you cover?
Yes. Pleshey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Pleshey in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pleshey is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Pleshey and the rest of Essex.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Gutter sealing in Pleshey, done properly
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. We work on soffit joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in around a garage door and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
In a village or hamlet like Pleshey, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Walls and rooflines in Pleshey
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- We check our work before we leave.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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 Pleshey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames

Do you need gutter sealing in Pleshey?
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Look out for these signs:
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
In and around Pleshey, as anywhere, good gutter sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Make sure downpipes are not blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
