How we handle gutter sealing in Childrey
We don’t replace gutters, fascias or roofs. What sealant does is close joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. Common call-outs are for internal damp traced to a gutter joint and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, across gutter end caps, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
Somewhere as small as Childrey, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

FAQs for Childrey
What guarantee comes with gutter sealing in Childrey?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do gutter sealing in Childrey?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Childrey is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Childrey?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Walls and rooflines in Childrey
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

When to call us in Childrey
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last so the brackets need attention first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Rain getting in around a garage door
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep ladders off the guttering
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise before poking or cleaning near it.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall and that can cause damp inside.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Quotes for gutter sealing in Childrey
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Childrey needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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 won’t bond to a wet surface.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
