What gutter sealing looks like in Folly Town
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.

Gutter sealing in Folly Town
A lot of gutter leaks come down to one tired joint. We clean out the joint, dry it and reseal it with a sealant made for guttering. If the gutter itself has failed, we say so. Common call-outs are for trim joints where the sealant has failed and earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off, on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and soffit joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Folly Town is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Advice
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we’re called out for in Folly Town
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Earlier gutter repairs that have peeled off
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Dripping gutter ends
- Water running down the wall below the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

What the job involves on each surface
Soffit joints
Soffits sit under the eaves, where joints can open up. They’re sealed to tidy the line.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. When it splits, water can get behind.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep the gutters clear of debris
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Deal with a drip before winter
Check the joints after heavy rain now and then. Drips are easiest to spot while it’s raining.
A leaking stop end is best sealed before the wet months. A winter of drips can lead to damp patches.
Why it’s worth doing now in Folly Town
Replacing fascias because of open joints is usually unnecessary. A neat seal closes the gaps if the boards are sound. In a small place like Folly Town, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
