What gutter sealing looks like in Southfields
Southfields is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to St Giles & All Saints Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Orsett Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Stanford-Le-Hope station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Southfields is about 2 miles south-west of Stanford-le-Hope, in Thurrock. We provide gutter sealing to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Southfields and the surrounding area.

Gutter sealing in Southfields
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on roofline trims, soffit joints and gutter joints, and people most often call us about cracked sealant along roofline trims and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
Somewhere as small as Southfields, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- Fascias that need replacing
- Guttering that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Southfields questions
I let a flat near Stanford-Le-Hope station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Southfields?
Yes. Southfields 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does gutter sealing take?
Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening so it needs refixing before sealing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In a small place like Southfields, 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 how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Southfields
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
See our cost guide or what customers say.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Southfields, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
