How we handle gutter sealing in Fishbourne
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. We cut out the old sealant and reseal the frame with an exterior sealant. If you are dealing with garage door frames letting rain in and dripping gutter ends, we can put it right, on garage door frames, uPVC fascias and soffit joints alike.
In a smaller place like Fishbourne, some homes face open ground, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are generally the first to go.

FAQs for Fishbourne
Will you come out to Fishbourne?
Yes. Fishbourne 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.
Is gutter sealing in a coastal place like Fishbourne any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey and low-level gutters are straightforward. If it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm the access.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
No, we reseal joints, end caps and trims. A gutter installer or roofer deals with replacement.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you seal fascia and soffit joints?
Yes. Open joints along uPVC fascias and soffits can be sealed in a colour to suit.

Outside joints around Fishbourne
Fishbourne is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Fishbourne station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Fishbourne
Stop ends take pressure from water running along the gutter. If the seal fails, water escapes at the end and runs down the wall.
Look out for these signs:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
Schools such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. We seal them to close the gaps.
Gutter end caps
End caps are resealed where they meet the gutter once clean and dry.
