What happens if it’s left?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burghfield Bridge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

About our gutter sealing in Burghfield Bridge
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. If you are dealing with drips from gutter joints and end caps and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, we can help, on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and garage door frames alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Burghfield Bridge is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Burghfield Bridge questions
Will you come out to Burghfield Bridge?
Yes. Burghfield Bridge 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 Reading Green Park station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will sealing fix a sagging gutter?
Sealant will not hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. We seal leaking joints, end caps and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Is sealing fascia joints something you do?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Gutter sealing in Burghfield Bridge: local notes
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Burghfield Bridge 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around 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 Reading Green Park station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Schools such as Kennet Valley Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Burghfield Bridge is about 2 miles south-west of Reading, in Reading. From the centre of Burghfield Bridge to the outskirts, gutter sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Burghfield Bridge is one of 34 places in Reading where we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
