Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aldwych: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldwych?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you cover Aldwych for gutter sealing?
Yes, Aldwych is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we will confirm what’s needed.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Walls and rooflines in Aldwych
Historic houses like Dr Johnson's House (about 0.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Aldwych 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Aldwych is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary le Strand, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Different surfaces, different methods
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, depending on the size of the job.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Check the joints after heavy rain. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp.

Common problems we fix in Aldwych
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Look out for these signs:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Letting a property close to London Charing Cross station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
