Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for householders, landlords and businesses in Skinner's Hill. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

How we handle gutter sealing in Skinner's Hill
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We work on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and open joints in fascias and soffits.
In a village or hamlet like Skinner's Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Skinner's Hill buildings and the weather
Skinner's Hill 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. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Letting a property close to Sandown station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
Skinner's Hill is about 5 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Skinner's Hill
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Skinner's Hill?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is Skinner's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Skinner's Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
It won’t last. The joint will pull apart, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. Around Skinner's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Skinner's Hill
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Garage door frames letting rain in
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newchurch Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
What affects the quote in Skinner's Hill
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What we cannot put right

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Skinner's Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
