- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Rain getting in around a garage door
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Alkham
Across Alkham, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you’re dealing with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Alkham, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Alkham
Will you come out to Alkham?
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 for landlords with property near Kearsney station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Walls and rooflines in Alkham
Alkham is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Kearsney station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. If you live in an older home near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
Joints between gutter lengths are the most common leak point. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. We close them with a suitable sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alkham
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. In a small place like Alkham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Alkham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
