Gutter sealing in Burford
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where one is available. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and roofline trims, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints in fascias and soffits and failed sealant on a garage door frame.
Houses in smaller places like Burford can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. In a smaller place like Burford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Burford
Sealant on fascias and trims weathers like any outdoor joint. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Rented homes near Shipton station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What gutter sealing looks like in Burford
Historic houses like Minster Lovell Hall (about 4.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Burford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Burford Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
