DIY versus a professional finish

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.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

About our gutter sealing in Cote

It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but the water lands on the same spot every time it rains. Resealing it is a small job if the gutter is otherwise in good order. We’re often asked to deal with streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and damp patches inside below a leaking gutter, across uPVC fascias, garage door frames and gutter joints.

External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Cote is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Cote

Do you cover smaller places like Cote?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Cote?

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.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?

In most cases, yes. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

What guarantee comes with the job?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.

Is sealing fascia joints something you do?

Yes, it’s a common job. The gaps are cleaned and sealed neatly.

What affects the quote in Cote

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • The product the joint needs
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The number and length of the joints

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Outside joints around Cote

Cote is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 2.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cote as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

In the older streets around St Symphorian's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Durrington Junior School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Durrington-On-Sea station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Cote is about 2 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Every kind of property in Cote is covered for gutter sealing. The work is guaranteed for a year. Cote is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Deal with a drip before winter
  • Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
  • Watch for drips in a downpour
  • Keep ladders off the guttering

Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.

A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cote

A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In a small place like Cote, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

For landlords and businesses

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Cote needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We find where the water is coming from and check the gutter is sound.
  2. The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
  3. We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
  4. A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
  5. We check the run and clear debris near the joints.

Getting ready for the visit

  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
