We cover Botolphs for sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

About our gutter sealing in Botolphs
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first, then dry the joint before sealing. If you have garage door frames letting rain in and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Botolphs may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Botolphs and across West Sussex.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Botolphs can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Clear the gutters once or twice a year so water does not sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What else we do in Botolphs
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Botolphs, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Botolphs
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
In the older streets around St Botolph's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Walls and rooflines in Botolphs
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Portslade Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Botolphs as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Shoreham-By-Sea station? Then a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
