Gutter Sealing across Kent

Gutter sealing across Kent: what to expect

Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. We are often asked to deal with trim joints where the sealant has failed and drips from gutter joints and end caps, across gutter joints, gutter end caps and garage door frames.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

  1. We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
  2. The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
  3. The joint is dried before sealing.
  4. We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
  5. We check the run and clear debris near the joints.

Near you in Maidstone

In Maidstone, that means homes and buildings near Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are River Len LNR (less than half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (within half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The closest station to Maidstone is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Maidstone Carriage Museum (within half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). Open spaces near Maidstone include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Outside joints across Kent

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to its smaller places, buildings across Kent have walls, gutters and rooflines of every age. Each needs a sealant that can move, laid at the right depth.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Kent is planned around the weather. Kent includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.

Maidstone: For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as South Borough Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Different surfaces, different methods

Gutter joints

Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.

Soffit joints

Soffit board joints can separate over time. We seal them to close the gaps.

What affects the quote in Kent

We do not publish a price list. What we look at:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Access and height
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Where the property is
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

Why act early?

Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the cure time is
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • What guarantee comes with the work

Aftercare tips

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
  • Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
  • Keep ladders off the guttering

Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.

A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.

Why it fails

Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
  • Dripping gutter ends
  • Trim joints where the sealant has failed
  • Garage door frames letting rain in

Kent: your questions answered

How long does gutter sealing take?

Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need.

Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?

Not on its own. If the gutter sags, the joints keep opening, so the brackets need fixing first.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
