Hacklinge Gutter Sealing
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Hacklinge? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Rain getting in around a garage door
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
How the job changes by surface
uPVC fascias
Open fascia joints look untidy and can let water in. Sealing them closes the gap.
Garage door frames
A fresh seal around the frame stops rain getting in.
How we handle gutter sealing in Hacklinge
Water dripping from a gutter joint can stain walls and soak the ground below. Often a reseal is enough if the gutter isn’t damaged. If you’re dealing with rain getting in around a garage door and stop ends leaking at the end of a run, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hacklinge, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Hacklinge buildings and the weather
Hacklinge is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St George include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you look after a building such as Worth Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

- Guttering that needs replacing

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Leave it or put it right?
A dripping gutter joint keeps wetting the same patch of wall. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. Around Hacklinge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
