Gutter sealing in Thorpe Green, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant along roofline trims and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off.
Around Thorpe Green, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.

Advice
Outside joints around Thorpe Green
Thorpe Green 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. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Thorpe Hall (about 1 mile south-east) are a reminder that the area around Thorpe Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Managing a site like Rolph CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

Thorpe Green questions
Is Thorpe Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Thorpe Green 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint normally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Why act early in Thorpe Green
If the problem is a blocked downpipe, sealing won’t help. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. In a small place like Thorpe Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
