What gutter sealing looks like in Crockham Heath
Historic houses like Benham Park (about 1.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Crockham Heath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Michael, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

About our gutter sealing in Crockham Heath
Gutter and fascia replacement isn’t our trade, and nor is roofing. What sealant does is close joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. We work on garage door frames, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias, and the jobs we see most are streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and water dripping where gutter sections meet.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Crockham Heath is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Crockham Heath, 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.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- The joint or trim is cleaned out and old sealant removed.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.

Common problems we fix in Crockham Heath
When a gutter sags, its joints open. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Drips from gutter joints and end caps
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
Managing a site like Enborne C.E. Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Questions from Crockham Heath
Can you do gutter sealing in Crockham Heath?
Yes, Crockham Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Crockham Heath?
Yes. Crockham Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee gutter sealing?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is gutter cleaning part of the job?
We clear debris near the joints because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
How the job changes by surface
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.
