Gutter sealing near Rotherhithe

Outside joints around Rotherhithe

In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 2.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rotherhithe as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

As a London address, Rotherhithe can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Rotherhithe

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 are dealing with internal damp traced to a gutter joint and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, we can put it right, on gutter joints, roofline trims and uPVC fascias alike.

Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Rotherhithe, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How much there is to do
  • Whether the work is at height

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • The rough size of the job
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The type of property

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Rotherhithe: your questions answered

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canada Water station?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

Can you do gutter sealing in Rotherhithe?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rotherhithe is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?

We do. Our work is the joints, and if a board is damaged, we will tell you.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Is gutter cleaning part of the job?

We clear debris near the joints because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.

What should I tell you?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

What do you put in the joint?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

How it works

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a London area like Rotherhithe, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.

  1. We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
  2. The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
  3. We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
  4. A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

When it isn’t the sealant

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged fascia boards
  • Brackets that have snapped or loosened
  • Guttering that needs replacing

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Soffit joints
  • Gutter joints
  • Roofline trims
  • uPVC fascias
  • Gutter end caps
  • Garage door frames

Why deal with it now?

Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Rotherhithe, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Why book with us

  • 20+ years of sealant experience
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work
  • Colour agreed with you before we start

When to call us in Rotherhithe

When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last so the brackets need attention first.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Garage door frames letting rain in
  • Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
  • Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
  • Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint

Letting a property close to Canada Water station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

What your quote should include

  • How long to leave it before use
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether you can choose the colour
