Gutter sealing in Thorpe-le-Soken, done properly
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame using a sealant made for outdoor use. We’re often asked to deal with drips from gutter joints and end caps and dripping gutter ends, on gutter end caps, roofline trims and garage door frames.
Around Thorpe-le-Soken, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Thorpe-le-Soken and across Essex.

Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter, after cleaning and drying.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.

Questions from Thorpe-le-Soken
I let a flat near Thorpe-Le-Soken station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Thorpe-le-Soken affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
In many cases, yes. A clean, dry joint resealed with gutter sealant normally stops the drip. A split or warped section needs replacing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
What gutter sealing looks like in Thorpe-le-Soken
Thorpe-le-Soken is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Parish Church of St Michael, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Rolph CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a job in Thorpe-le-Soken, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
