Gutter Sealing in Fords Farm
Gutter and fascia joints in Fords Farm need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Dripping gutter ends
- Garage door frames letting rain in
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Fords Farm
Across Fords Farm, we reseal gutter joints, end caps and roofline trims. Low-level work is straightforward and if it’s higher up, let us know and we will confirm what access is needed. We are often asked to deal with wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint and drips from gutter joints and end caps, on gutter end caps, uPVC fascias and garage door frames.
Houses in smaller places like Fords Farm can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That is where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
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.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. For a job in Fords Farm, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gutters, fascias and trims and agree the joints to seal.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive

How the job changes by surface
Gutter joints
Gutter joints move and sit in water. A dedicated gutter sealant suits them.
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Outside joints around Fords Farm
With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 3.1 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fords Farm as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Reading Green Park station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kennet Valley Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Around Fords Farm
Around Fords Farm, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Prospect School, Elvian School and The Cunning Man pub. For rail, the closest station is Reading Green Park station, roughly 1.4 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Battle Hospital (1.7 miles north-east) and Beaumys Castle (4.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Fobney Island Wetland Reserve and South Lake.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Keep downpipes clear
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
- Have sagging gutters refixed early
While checking gutters, glance at the fascia joints too. A small split is quicker to put right.
A drip from a gutter joint won’t stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains, which can lead to staining and damp.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fords Farm
You do not need to replace a garage door because rain gets in round the frame. Sealing the frame usually stops it, if the frame itself is sound. In a smaller place like Fords Farm, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
