Gutter sealing in Detling, done properly
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That’s why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. If you have rain getting in around a garage door and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, we can help, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and gutter joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Detling, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Surface by surface
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Walls and rooflines in Detling
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Detling as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Valley Park School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to St Martin of Tours Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame normally stops it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Detling can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Signs you need gutter sealing in Detling
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing won’t hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
