Gutter sealing in Fordcombe
Our work covers gutter joints and end caps as well as fascias and soffits plus roofline trims and garage door frames. It’s joint work, not replacing the gutter. If you have damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter and rain getting in around a garage door, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Fordcombe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Fordcombe
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Landlords and agents in Fordcombe can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Keep downpipes clear
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you and avoid disturbing it.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. If we find a bigger problem, we’ll tell you.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a village or hamlet like Fordcombe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant won’t bond to a wet surface.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- The run is checked and any debris near the joints is cleared.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Gutter end caps
End caps take the pressure of water running along the gutter. A failed seal makes them leak.
Roofline trims
Sealing roofline trims is joint work only. A roofer deals with the roof itself.
Leave it or put it right?
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough, if the frame itself is sound. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fordcombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Walls and rooflines in Fordcombe
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Fordcombe has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Ashurst Kent station change hands often, and leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Fascias that need replacing
- Blocked downpipes
- Gutters that have dropped or pulled away
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
