Gutter, fascia & soffit sealing in Chatham, Medway
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Chatham? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

Chatham buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 2.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chatham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Christ the King, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Wayfield Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Chatham station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Gutter sealing in Chatham
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. We work on gutter end caps, gutter joints and roofline trims, and people most often call us about streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and rain getting in around a garage door.
Larger buildings in Chatham have plenty of movement joints, cladding joints and roofline trims. When those fail, water gets behind the face of the building, often unseen until it shows inside.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chatham
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
How we quote for gutter sealing

- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
