What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Alvescot, access is generally 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 isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.

How we handle gutter sealing in Alvescot
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. Typical jobs include dripping gutter ends and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, on gutter end caps, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Alvescot is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.

What gutter sealing looks like in Alvescot
Historic houses like Kelmscott Manor (about 3.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Alvescot has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
Schools such as St Peter's Church of England School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Alvescot
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint won’t bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
