Gutter sealing in Fordwich
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 is broken or sagging, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for fascia boards with gaps between them and leaking gutter joints and stop ends, across soffit joints, roofline trims and gutter end caps.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Fordwich is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in Fordwich
Debris in the gutter keeps water sitting at the joints. Standing water finds the weakest joint and leaks out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Leaking gutter joints and stop ends
- Cracked sealant along roofline trims
- Failed sealant on a garage door frame
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Walls and rooflines in Fordwich
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.
For landlords with property near Sturry station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking. Schools such as Sturry Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about gutter sealing in Fordwich
Is Fordwich in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fordwich is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Sturry station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can a leaking gutter joint be sealed?
Most of the time. A sagging or cracked gutter needs more than sealant and we will say so.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts, but it soon lets go. Cleaning out and drying the joint first is what makes it last. Around Fordwich, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Soffit joints
Gaps at soffit joints can let in draughts and insects. A neat seal closes them.
Gutter end caps
Drips from a stop end run down the brickwork. It’s a quick reseal.
