Outside joints around Aldrington
Aldrington is close to 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. With historic houses such as Portslade Manor (about 1.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Aldrington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to St Philip's Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For landlords with property near Portslade station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Aldrington
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter is not damaged. We are often asked to deal with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, across gutter end caps, soffit joints and roofline trims.
Around Aldrington, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aldrington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Aldrington?
Yes, Aldrington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Aldrington?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a job in Aldrington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by tracing the leak and checking the gutter itself is sound.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

When to call us in Aldrington
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
Schools such as Hove Junior School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens if it’s left?
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. In an older home around Aldrington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
