Gutter sealing in Drayton
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. So the old sealant and grime come out first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We work on gutter joints, soffit joints and garage door frames, and people most often call us about trim joints where the sealant has failed and end caps that drip every time it rains.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Drayton add more joints to look after. Leaks generally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Drayton buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 4.4 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Drayton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Drayton Community Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Appleford station? Then a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for drips in a downpour
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
- Deal with a drip before winter
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss, so water drains away past the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
If an end cap is dripping, deal with it before winter. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run for a typical job. Parking around Drayton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we find the drip and check the gutter is not cracked or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- We make sure the joint is dry before sealing.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear any debris we find while we’re there.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Garage door frames
- Roofline trims
- Gutter joints
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- uPVC fascias
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

What affects the quote in Drayton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
