Gutter sealing for homes and businesses in Great Hollands
Garage door frames let rain in when the sealant around them fails. The frame joint is cut out and resealed using a sealant made for outdoor use. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant along roofline trims and drips from gutter joints and end caps, on soffit joints, gutter end caps and uPVC fascias.
Homes around Great Hollands range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.

- Soffit joints
- Gutter joints
- uPVC fascias
- Roofline trims
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for streaks or damp on the wall below gutters
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Do not leave a sagging gutter
Make sure downpipes aren’t blocked, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
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.

Outside joints around Great Hollands
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Great Hollands is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades and were built in phases, so whole streets can have gutters, trims and wall joints reaching the end of their life together.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Signs you need gutter sealing in Great Hollands
A sealant applied to a damp or dirty joint will not bond. Some quick repairs peel off within a season or two.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Gaps along fascia and soffit joints
Schools such as Great Hollands Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Great Hollands: your questions answered
Do older homes in Great Hollands need their sealant replacing?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
I let a flat near Bracknell station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
We do. We seal the joints, not replace the boards and we’ll let you know if a board has failed.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you reach high gutters?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. For anything higher, we will confirm what access is needed before we book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes an hour or two for a few joints, longer for a full run. Parking around Great Hollands is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
