DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
About our gutter sealing in Donkey Street
Across Donkey Street, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Single-storey and low gutters are simple to reach, and for higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We work on uPVC fascias, soffit joints and gutter end caps, and people most often call us about old sealant on roofline trims that has split and water running down the wall below the gutter.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Donkey Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Donkey Street questions
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Donkey Street any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
Sealant won’t hold a sagging gutter. The gutter needs refixing by a gutter installer, and we will tell you if that’s what we find.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. For a village or hamlet like Donkey Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Surface by surface
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. A neat bead closes them up.
Soffit joints
We choose a sealant colour that suits the soffit, where one is available.
Outside joints around Donkey Street
Donkey Street is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Donkey Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked so the gutter can drain. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. Water keeps hitting the same part of the wall, which can lead to staining and damp.
What happens if it’s left?
A new garage door is not needed for a leaking frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Donkey Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
