How we handle gutter sealing in Benington
Sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We’re often asked to deal with old gutter sealant that has let go and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and gutter joints.
Somewhere as small as Benington, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Walls and rooflines in Benington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Aston Bury (about 2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Benington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Benington Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

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 dripping joint doesn’t always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Look along the fascias for open joints
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry.

What we are called out for in Benington
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Rented homes near Watton-At-Stone station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fascias that need replacing
- A gutter length that has split
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Benington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What you get with us

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Benington, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
