Leave it or put it right?
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp, so it’s worth sealing early. Around Balls Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Gutter sealing in Balls Cross, done properly
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you have cracked sealant along roofline trims and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can help, on gutter joints, gutter end caps and soffit joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Balls Cross, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for gutter sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Your questions about gutter sealing in Balls Cross
Do you cover Balls Cross for gutter sealing?
Yes, Balls Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Balls Cross?
Yes, Balls Cross is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does gutter sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.

Common problems we fix in Balls Cross
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move, and old seals crack or slip.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
Around Balls Cross, as everywhere, gutter sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like Balls Cross, 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 is not 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.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Gutter sealing in Balls Cross: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Petworth House (about 2.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Balls Cross as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
