- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Dripping gutter ends
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Gutter sealing in Cross-at-Hand
A leaking gutter joint marks the wall and wets the ground underneath. Often a reseal is enough, as long as the gutter is sound. Typical jobs include quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, on gutter joints, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Cross-at-Hand is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross-at-Hand
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. In a small place like Cross-at-Hand, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Cross-at-Hand: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Cross-at-Hand within the area you cover?
Yes. Cross-at-Hand is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Outside joints around Cross-at-Hand
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 4.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Cross-at-Hand 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
