How the job changes by surface

Gutter joints

A dripping joint doesn’t always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.

uPVC fascias

Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly in a suitable colour.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Woodham Ferrers

Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on gutter joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are dripping gutter ends and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.

In a village or hamlet like Woodham Ferrers, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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, whatever its size.

Outside joints around Woodham Ferrers

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. With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 3.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woodham Ferrers as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

Rented homes near South Woodham Ferrers station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as William de Ferrers School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Brackets that have snapped or loosened
  • Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
  • Water backing up from a blocked pipe

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • uPVC fascias
  • Gutter end caps
  • Soffit joints
  • Garage door frames
  • Gutter joints
  • Roofline trims

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere like Woodham Ferrers needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
  2. Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
  3. We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
  4. An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Clear the area around the work

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodham Ferrers, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents and landlords in Woodham Ferrers can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Keep downpipes clear
  • Glance at the soffit joints now and then
  • Deal with a drip before winter
  • Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters

Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.

Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.

Common questions in Woodham Ferrers

Do you work for landlords with property near South Woodham Ferrers 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.

Do you cover Woodham Ferrers for gutter sealing?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Woodham Ferrers is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Woodham Ferrers and the rest of Essex.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
