How we handle gutter sealing in Drayton
We do not replace gutters, fascias or roofs. Sealant fixes joints and it cannot mend broken brackets, split sections or blocked downpipes. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant along roofline trims and streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint, we can put it right, on soffit joints, uPVC fascias and garage door frames alike.
Homes around Drayton range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the cost of gutter sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job

Drayton questions
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Drayton?
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.
Is Drayton within the area you cover?
Yes, Drayton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will you be here?
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 will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you reach high gutters?
That depends on the building. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why deal with it now?
A bead squeezed onto a wet joint might hold for a while but it tends to peel off. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. In a smaller place like Drayton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Get leaks sealed before the wet months
- Look along the fascias for open joints
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Sagging gutters or broken brackets
- Cracked, split or warped gutter sections
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
- Garage door frames
- Gutter end caps
- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we are called out for in Drayton
Sealant laid on a wet or dirty joint fails early. Rushed repairs often do not last long for this reason.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Letting a property close to Cosham station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. A visit to Drayton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter is not damaged.
- The old sealant and dirt are cleaned out of the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Walls and rooflines in Drayton
Drayton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 3.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Drayton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Springfield School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Drayton Methodist Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
