DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in East Lavant
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Rain getting in around a garage door
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Gutter sealing in East Lavant: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Goodwood House (about 1.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around East Lavant has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lavant CofE Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Lavant
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. Resealing it is a quick job compared with treating damp later. In a small place like East Lavant, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere as small as East Lavant, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- We clean out the joint and take out the old sealant.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Watch for drips in a downpour
Keep downpipes clear so the gutter can drain. Blockages push water back along the gutter.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
