Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How we handle gutter sealing in Capel Cross
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. If you have trim joints where the sealant has failed and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Capel Cross may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the quote in Capel Cross
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Walls and rooflines in Capel Cross
With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 3.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Capel Cross as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Marden station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horsmonden Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Scotney Castle, about 3.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Capel Cross, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Keep downpipes clear
- Sort out a dripping joint early
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches inside.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run in most cases. In a small place like Capel Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a small job to fix.
Roofline trims
Trims along the roofline are often finished with sealant. Split sealant lets water in.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and tell you if something else is needed. In a small place like Capel Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes, it’s a common job. Each joint is cleaned and sealed with a suitable exterior sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
