Common questions in Charter Alley
Do you cover smaller places like Charter Alley?
Yes, Charter Alley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Often, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint generally works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
Replacement isn’t our trade. We will tell you if the gutter needs replacing.
Gutter sealing in Charter Alley
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on soffit joints, garage door frames and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about drips from gutter joints and end caps and old sealant on roofline trims that has split.
Around Charter Alley, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter end caps
Stop ends hold back water at the end of a run. A failed seal makes them leak.
Do you need gutter sealing in Charter Alley?
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often don’t last long for this reason.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Garage door frames letting rain in
If you look after a building such as The Priory Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Outside joints around Charter Alley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 2.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Charter Alley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Christ Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Landlord and commercial work in Charter Alley
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the quote in Charter Alley
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. For a village or hamlet like Charter Alley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
