Outside joints around Blackness
Blackness is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Michelham Priory (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Blackness as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around St Luke's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stone Cross School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Gutter sealing in Blackness, done properly
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work rather than new guttering. Typical jobs include fascia boards with gaps between them and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, across gutter end caps, roofline trims and uPVC fascias.
Older homes in small places like Blackness may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.

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’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When to call us in Blackness
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Water that cannot drain works its way through a weak joint and leaks out.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
If you let a flat or house near Pevensey & Westham station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.

Blackness questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pevensey & Westham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackness?
Yes. Blackness is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Blackness, along with the rest of our area.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. A full clean of the gutters is not part of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
It depends on the access. Let us know the height and the ground below and we will confirm what’s needed.
