About our gutter sealing in Caversham
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where possible. We work on soffit joints, roofline trims and garage door frames, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and gaps along fascia and soffit joints.
Plenty of homes in a town like Caversham have been extended, and the line where an extension meets the original house is a common leak point. Getting the joint depth right matters as much as the sealant itself.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run from start to finish. In Caversham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter isn’t cracked or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Do you need gutter sealing in Caversham?
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
If you live in an older home near Grace Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
Caversham questions
Is gutter sealing in Caversham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Caversham for gutter sealing?
Yes, Caversham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters before we book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
It will not last. The joint will pull apart, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
Caversham buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Caversham 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as The Hill Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Caversham, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
