The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Downend, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Downend questions
Do you cover smaller places like Downend?
Yes. Downend 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.
I let a flat near Smallbrook Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. For higher work, tell us about access and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before poking or cleaning near it.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Downpipes that are blocked or broken
- A gutter length that has split
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Garage door frames
- Gutter joints
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
Do you need gutter sealing in Downend?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Resealing a sagging joint won’t last so the brackets need attention first.
Look out for these signs:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
If you live in an older home near St. George's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Other services in Downend
Why deal with it now?
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. Around Downend, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
