Gutter sealing near West Ashling

What the job involves on each surface

Gutter joints

A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.

Soffit joints

Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit, where one is available.

Gutter sealing in West Ashling

Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints and it can’t mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint, we can put it right, on garage door frames, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias alike.

Somewhere as small as West Ashling, 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.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in West Ashling

Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
  • Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
  • End caps that drip every time it rains
  • Fascia boards with gaps between them

Schools such as Funtington Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

How to choose a mastic man

West Ashling: your questions answered

I let a flat near Bosham station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Is West Ashling within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you work on high-level gutters?

It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Will you clear out my gutters?

Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.

Where do you work from?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover West Ashling and the rest of West Sussex.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.

Leave it or put it right?

A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Ashling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

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 us?

  • Over 20 years’ experience
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work

How it works

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as West Ashling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
  2. The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
  3. The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

West Ashling buildings and the weather

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like West Dean House (about 4.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around West Ashling has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Letting a property close to Bosham station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

What affects the quote in West Ashling

We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Access and height
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The type of sealant required

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Roughly how big the job is

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
