What gutter sealing looks like in Borstal
With historic houses such as Temple Manor (about 1 mile north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Borstal as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Cuxton station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint, resealing is the sensible fix. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. In an older home around Borstal, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We will tell you when we quote.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
It will not last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
