Why act early in Ditchling
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We check the cause first and point you to the right trade if needed. In a small place like Ditchling, 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 price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Gutter sealing in Ditchling: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Hassocks station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ditchling (St Margaret's) Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Ditchling questions
Is Ditchling in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes, Ditchling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Ditchling?
Yes, Ditchling is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Ditchling
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. Once the seal behind them fails, they drip and runs down the wall.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Damp patches inside below a leaking gutter
- End caps that drip every time it rains
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
In the older streets around Ditchling Unitarian Chapel, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Keep downpipes clear
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Sort out a dripping joint early
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. Splits are easier to seal early.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Sealing it early keeps the boards behind dry and the wall below.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
- Water backing up from a blocked pipe
- Boards that have decayed or split
