Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Cotman's Ash
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with old sealant on roofline trims that has split and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can help, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and roofline trims alike.
In a village or hamlet like Cotman's Ash, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. 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, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. In a small place like Cotman's Ash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Cotman's Ash, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
Failed sealant around a garage door frame lets water in. It’s removed and renewed.
uPVC fascias
Our work is the joints, not new fascias. Damaged boards need replacing by an installer.
Gutter sealing in Cotman's Ash: local notes
Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 3.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Cotman's Ash has older buildings as well as new. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you look after a building such as Kemsing Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Kemsing station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

What’s near Cotman's Ash

A little further out are Kemsing Castle Bank (0.9 miles south-west) and Sevenoaks Hospital (2.8 miles south-west). Not far away are Dryhill Nature Reserve.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. Water down the wall all winter can cause damp inside.
Questions from Cotman's Ash
Is Cotman's Ash within the area you cover?
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.
I let a flat near Kemsing station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
Not on its own. A sagging gutter pulls its joints apart, so the brackets need fixing first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
We do not replace gutters or fascias. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
