- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Gutter sealing in Appleford-on-Thames, done properly
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on gutter end caps, soffit joints and roofline trims, and the jobs we see most are damp patches inside below a leaking gutter and wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint.
Around Appleford-on-Thames, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.

FAQs for Appleford-on-Thames
Will you come out to Appleford-on-Thames?
Yes. Appleford-on-Thames is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Appleford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do 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.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Appleford-on-Thames, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
When to call us in Appleford-on-Thames
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract and that movement opens up tired joints.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
If you look after a building such as Didcot Girls' School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Outside joints around Appleford-on-Thames
Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 1.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Appleford-on-Thames 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Appleford station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Appleford-on-Thames
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Appleford-on-Thames, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Keep downpipes clear
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
