Gutter sealing in Chawley
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Typical jobs include internal damp traced to a gutter joint and cracked sealant along roofline trims, on garage door frames, gutter joints and roofline trims.
Around Chawley, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Chawley and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Chawley
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. A blocked downpipe makes water back up, which is why we look before we seal.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or damaged fascia boards
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Guttering that needs replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep downpipes clear
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.

Outside joints around Chawley
Historic houses like Appleton Manor (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Chawley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled), larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
