Gutter sealing in Colthrop, done properly
We work across Colthrop on leaking gutter joints and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on roofline trims, soffit joints and uPVC fascias, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and drips from gutter joints and end caps.
In a village or hamlet like Colthrop, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
Look at fascia and trim joints when you’re checking the gutters. A small split is quicker to put right.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A gutter length that has split
- Blocked downpipes
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why act early in Colthrop
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Colthrop, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How much does gutter sealing cost in Colthrop?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
We do. Our work is the joints, and if a board is damaged, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work on high-level gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we will confirm what’s needed.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Colthrop 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.

What gutter sealing looks like in Colthrop
With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 3.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Colthrop as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Schools such as Francis Baily Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
