Princelett questions
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Princelett any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Gutter sealing in Princelett
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you have failed sealant on a garage door frame and water dripping where gutter sections meet, we can help, on gutter joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Princelett is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Princelett and across the Isle of Wight. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
When to call us in Princelett
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandown Bay Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. When their seal fails, they drip.
Princelett buildings and the weather
Princelett is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Haseley Manor, about 1.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Princelett.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Princelett needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Princelett, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
