Walls and rooflines in Chitty
Chitty is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Chitty gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Chitty
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Resealing it is a small job while the gutter is still sound. If you’re dealing with earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Chitty, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A gutter length that has split
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Soffit joints
Leave it or put it right?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right before the damage spreads. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chitty, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

How we quote for gutter sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- 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. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
Fascia board joints can open up. We seal them neatly with a matching sealant where possible.
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Chitty
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Temperature changes make gutters move and that movement opens up tired joints.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
Schools such as Chislet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Common questions in Chitty
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Chitty?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Sealing a sagging joint won’t last. A gutter installer needs to refix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What guarantee comes with the job?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you clean gutters?
We clean the joints we’re sealing and any debris nearby is cleared. A full gutter clean is a separate service.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere as small as Chitty, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we are there.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
