How we handle gutter sealing in Etchingwood
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and gutter joints, and people most often call us about failed sealant on a garage door frame and damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Etchingwood is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Gutter joints
A dripping joint does not always mean a failed gutter. Sealing the joint often stops it.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. Roofing problems need a roofer.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing fascias because of open joints is normally unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps as long as the boards are in good condition. Around Etchingwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How we quote for gutter sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Somewhere like Etchingwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- We dry the joint so the new sealant can bond.
- A gutter sealant is applied to the joint.
- We check the run and clear debris near the joints.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Gutter sealing in Etchingwood: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Managing a site like Uckfield College? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you let a flat or house near Buxted station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside.

Etchingwood: your questions answered
I let a flat near Buxted station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Etchingwood within the area you cover?
Yes, Etchingwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No. We seal leaking joints and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Will sealant fix a dripping gutter joint?
Most of the time. If the gutter is sagging or cracked, sealing won’t last and we’ll say so.
What guarantee comes with the job?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will you clear out my gutters?
Only around the joints we seal because the joint must be clean. A full gutter clean is a separate job.
