Gutter sealing in Benson, done properly
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. We work on gutter end caps, garage door frames and soffit joints, and the jobs we see most are water running down the wall below the gutter and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter.
Homes around Benson range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Benson as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. A visit to Benson 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.
- We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why it’s worth doing now in Benson
Replacing guttering is a much bigger job than sealing joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it has failed, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Benson, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Benson
Will you come out to Benson?
Yes. Benson is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cholsey station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it possible to stop a gutter joint dripping with sealant?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we will say so.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again so the gutter has to be refixed first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Benson
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order 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. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Walls and rooflines in Benson
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Brightwell Manor (about 2.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Benson has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Helen, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Letting a property close to Cholsey station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
