Gutter sealing in Furnace Wood, done properly
Many dripping gutters are just a failed joint or end cap. The joint is cleaned, dried and resealed using a gutter sealant. If the gutter is broken or sagging, we’ll tell you. We work on roofline trims, uPVC fascias and garage door frames, and the jobs we see most are quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last and rain getting in around a garage door.
Somewhere as small as Furnace Wood, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Furnace Wood and across West Sussex.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. In a small place like Furnace Wood, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- We clean out each joint.
- We make sure everything is dry.
- The sealant is applied and finished.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Furnace Wood buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Saint Hill Manor (about 3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Furnace Wood 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Historic houses such as Saint Hill Manor, about 3 miles south-east, show how far back building around Furnace Wood goes. Schools such as Felbridge Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a dirty, wet joint is a quick fix that rarely lasts but it tends to peel off. Proper preparation is the difference. Around Furnace Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Is sealant enough for a gutter that has dropped?
It will not last. The joint will pull apart so the gutter has to be refixed first.

The joints we seal are cleaned out and any debris nearby is cleared. Cleaning the whole run is a different job.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Sort out a dripping joint early
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
If a gutter starts to sag, get the brackets looked at. Movement will pull the joints open again.
Early sealing limits how much water hits the wall. We’ll let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.
