- Fascias that need replacing
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- uPVC fascias
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
How we handle gutter sealing in Charlton-on-Otmoor
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you have leaking gutter joints and stop ends and old sealant on roofline trims that has split, we can put it right, on gutter joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps alike.
Older homes in small places like Charlton-on-Otmoor may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

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 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.
What gutter sealing looks like in Charlton-on-Otmoor
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. With historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (about 4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Charlton-on-Otmoor as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Islip station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

What we are called out for in Charlton-on-Otmoor
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.

- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
Schools such as Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
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.
Gutter end caps
We seal end caps from the inside where we can reach, after cleaning and drying.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere like Charlton-on-Otmoor needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Keep ladders off the guttering
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. If it drops, the joints will open.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
