Gutter sealing in Barnes Cray
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. If you have trim joints where the sealant has failed and water running down the wall below the gutter, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Barnes Cray range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Barnes Cray and everywhere else we cover.

How we quote for gutter sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is

- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Barnes Cray
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why act early in Barnes Cray
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In an older home around Barnes Cray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Barnes Cray
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often don’t last long.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Barnes Cray is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we’re sealing. A full clean of the gutters is not part of it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Guttering that needs replacing
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Fascias that need replacing
