Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
About our gutter sealing in Ashford
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and old gutter sealant that has let go, we can put it right, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter joints alike.
Ashford has everything from period brickwork to modern rendered and clad buildings. Newer buildings rely on sealed movement joints, while older ones need their gutters, fascias and trims kept tight.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Ashford
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with gutter sealing in Ashford?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
The joints we seal are cleaned out and clear debris we find nearby. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you reach high gutters?
That depends on the building. Let us know the height and the ground below and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it. In flats, shops and offices in Ashford, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- You choose the colour before work begins

Gutter sealing in Ashford: local notes
With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Managing a site like Chilmington Green Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
