Etchinghill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Etchinghill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
In most cases, yes. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last, and we will tell you.
Do you replace gutters or fascias?
No. We seal joints; replacing gutters and fascias needs a gutter or roofline installer.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does gutter sealing take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
About our gutter sealing in Etchinghill
For gutter sealant to hold, the joint has to be clean and dry. That is why we take out the old sealant and dirt first and the joint is dried before the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and trim joints where the sealant has failed, on gutter joints, soffit joints and uPVC fascias.
Older homes in small places like Etchinghill may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Leaking gutter joints get worse over time. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
Most gutter leaks start at a joint between sections. They’re cleaned out, dried and resealed.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Outside joints around Etchinghill
Etchinghill is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 2.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Etchinghill 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.
Acrise Place, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Etchinghill. Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Managing a site like Lyminge Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is generally unnecessary. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Etchinghill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
