We cover Barfrestone for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

How the job changes by surface
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
How we handle gutter sealing in Barfrestone
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are garage door frames letting rain in and leaking gutter joints and stop ends.
Somewhere as small as Barfrestone, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for gutter sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Barfrestone
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up so we check the cause first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Outside joints around Barfrestone
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Barfrestone has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Barfrestone
Do you cover smaller places like Barfrestone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 Shepherds Well station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
Usually, if the gutter is sound. We clean and dry the joint before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it, if the frame itself is sound. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Barfrestone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
