Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Ford
Failed sealant round a garage door frame lets rain blow in. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. If you have garage door frames letting rain in and quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Ford, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why act early in Ford
You don’t need new fascias just because the joints have opened. Sealing the joints tidies them up as long as the boards are in good condition. Around Ford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Homes, businesses and hotels

What affects the quote in Ford
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Blocked downpipes
- Fascias that need replacing
- A gutter length that has split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Gutter joints
- Garage door frames
- Soffit joints
- Gutter end caps
- Roofline trims
- uPVC fascias
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
Have a look at the gutter during a downpour now and then. It’s the easiest time to see a leak.
Once roofline sealant splits, water can get behind it. Resealing early protects the boards.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Somewhere like Ford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we trace the drip and check the gutter isn’t damaged.
- We remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
- The joint is dried before sealing.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters.
- The gutter is checked and debris around the joints cleared.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about gutter sealing in Ford
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Ford?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you reach high gutters?
Low-level work is easiest. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters before we book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Walls and rooflines in Ford
Ford 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. Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor (about 4.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Ford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For landlords with property near Ford station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. Schools such as The Littlehampton Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
