- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. In a small place like Cooling Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Gutter sealing in Cooling Street, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first, then dry the joint before sealing. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter joints, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in around a garage door and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
Older homes in small places like Cooling Street may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.

Questions from Cooling Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Higham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Cooling Street affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No, we reseal joints and trims. Replacement needs a gutter installer or roofer.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work in Cooling Street?
Yes. We cover Cooling Street, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning, drying and resealing the joint usually works. If the section is split or warped, it needs replacing.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cooling Street
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Cooling Street and across Medway. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Surface by surface
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a small job to fix.
Garage door frames
Frame-to-brick joints face the weather. An exterior sealant suits them.
Gutter sealing in Cooling Street: local notes
Cooling Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cliffe Woods Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as St James' Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Higham station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
- A gutter length that has split

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
