Gutter sealing in Clayton
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Resealing the joint is often all it needs, as long as the gutter is sound. If you are dealing with fascia boards with gaps between them and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Clayton, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Do you need gutter sealing in Clayton?
Gutter joints rely on seals that age. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
In the older streets around St John the Baptist's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Gutter end caps
A leaking end cap sends water straight down the wall. It’s a quick reseal.
Soffit joints
Open soffit joints let draughts in. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter sealing in Clayton: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Preston Manor & Gardens (about 4.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clayton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as The Windmills Junior School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.
Clayton is about 3 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Clayton gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Clayton is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover for gutter sealing.

Clayton questions
Will you come out to Clayton?
Yes. Clayton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear debris around the joints we are sealing. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Make sure downpipes are not blocked
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A gutter length that has split
- Leaks from the roof rather than a joint
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
