Gutter sealing in Reading Street
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on gutter end caps, soffit joints and gutter joints, and people most often call us about earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and fascia boards with gaps between them.
Somewhere as small as Reading Street, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
Reading Street buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 1.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Reading Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why act early in Reading Street
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. Resealing it is a quick job before the damage spreads. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Reading Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Advice
When to call us in Reading Street
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Is Reading Street in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Reading Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
