East Lockinge Gutter Sealing
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in East Lockinge? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
About our gutter sealing in East Lockinge
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. If you are dealing with streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint and trim joints where the sealant has failed, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in East Lockinge is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in East Lockinge
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two for this reason.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. In a small place like East Lockinge, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
How we quote for gutter sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the gutters while it’s raining
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job.
