Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Five Ash Down
It’s easy to live with a dripping gutter joint, but each shower sends water to the same place. Sealing it is quick while the gutter is still sound. We are often asked to deal with gaps along fascia and soffit joints and internal damp traced to a gutter joint, across soffit joints, uPVC fascias and roofline trims.
Around Five Ash Down, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Keep ladders off the guttering
- Check the gutters during heavy rain
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Five Ash Down buildings and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Buxted CofE Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why act early in Five Ash Down
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Left, it can stain walls and lead to damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Five Ash Down can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
