What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Capel-le-Ferne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit

What gutter sealing looks like in Capel-le-Ferne
Capel-le-Ferne is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Radigund, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

What affects the quote in Capel-le-Ferne
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Check the joints after heavy rain. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it while the frame is sound.

Capel-le-Ferne: your questions answered
I let a flat near Folkestone Central station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Capel-le-Ferne any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will you clear out my gutters?
We clear debris near the joints, so the sealant can bond. Cleaning the whole run is a separate job.
How long does gutter sealing take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
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 you reach high gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Capel-le-Ferne
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What we’re called out for in Capel-le-Ferne
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go so we check the cause first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Folkestone Central station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
Why it’s worth doing now in Capel-le-Ferne
New gutters cost far more than a few resealed joints. If the gutter is sound and the drip is a joint a reseal is all it needs. If it’s broken or sagging, a gutter installer needs to look. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Capel-le-Ferne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
