Gutter sealing in Atherington
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 itself has failed, we say so. We work on uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and the jobs we see most are gaps along fascia and soffit joints and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Atherington is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Atherington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Atherington, access is normally 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.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

FAQs for Atherington
Do you work for landlords with property near Littlehampton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Atherington?
Yes. Atherington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That is not something we do. Our work is sealing joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can I do 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Atherington
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last, so the gutter needs refixing first.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
For an older house near a landmark such as Bailiffscourt Chapel, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
When something else is needed

- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections

Walls and rooflines in Atherington
Atherington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Rented homes near Littlehampton station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
