Elmer Gutter Sealing
Sealing leaking gutter joints, end caps, fascias, soffits and roofline trims for homes and businesses in Elmer and across West Sussex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Dripping gutter ends
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Gutter sealing in Elmer, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you. We work on gutter end caps, roofline trims and soffit joints, and people most often call us about open joints in fascias and soffits and trim joints where the sealant has failed.
In and around Elmer, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Elmer
Questions from Elmer
Does the coastal weather in Elmer affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Elmer?
Yes. Elmer 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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does gutter sealing cost in Elmer?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a leaking end cap can send water down the wall all winter. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Around Elmer, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
A sagging gutter needs its brackets checked. Movement will pull the joints open again.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. A reseal sorts it.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access, and the area is left clean. For a job in Elmer, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- An exterior or gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
Roofline trims
We seal the trims, not the roof. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
What we’re called out for in Elmer
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It goes hard, cracks and pulls away after some years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
Letting a property close to Ford station? Then leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
What affects the quote in Elmer
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Walls and rooflines in Elmer
Elmer is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near St Nicholas Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Schools such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
