Gutter sealing in Basingstoke, done properly
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits, along with roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s all about the joints, not replacing the gutter. If you are dealing with quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and garage door frames letting rain in, we can help, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and soffit joints alike.
Landlords and managing agents in Basingstoke have plenty of walls and rooflines to keep an eye on. The first sign is normally a dripping gutter end or a stain below a failed joint.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access.

- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.

Basingstoke buildings and the weather
Historic houses like The Vyne (about 2.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Basingstoke has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we will tell you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Basingstoke
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. Busy buildings in Basingstoke, from hotels to offices, cannot afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
