What we’re called out for in Fox Street
Water spilling over a blocked gutter is often mistaken for a leak. If the downpipe is blocked, water has nowhere to go, which is why we look before we seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fascia boards with gaps between them
- Internal damp traced to a gutter joint
- Streaks down the brickwork from a leaking joint
- Old sealant on roofline trims that has split
Managing a site like Roach Vale Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
Gutter sealing in Fox Street
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. We seal them in a colour to suit where one is available. If you are dealing with failed sealant on a garage door frame and open joints in fascias and soffits, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Fox Street, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fox Street
A new garage door isn’t needed for a leaking frame. Resealing the frame joint is often enough. Around Fox Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What gutter sealing looks like in Fox Street
Historic houses like Castle House (about 3.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Fox Street 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Hythe station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look along the fascias for open joints
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Don’t leave a sagging gutter
- Clear leaves and moss from the gutters
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. If it drops, the joints will open.
Rain getting in round a garage door frame can damage what’s stored inside. A reseal sorts it.
