Gutter sealing in Hammerwood
Gaps along uPVC fascias and soffits look untidy and can let in water and draughts. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you have water dripping where gutter sections meet and gaps along fascia and soffit joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Hammerwood may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a few hours. Somewhere as small as Hammerwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter is not broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The joint is dried, because sealant will not bond to a wet surface.
- We seal the joint with a sealant made for gutters and outdoor use.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What gutter sealing looks like in Hammerwood
With historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (about 0.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hammerwood as well as newer homes. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Dormans station, a gutter joint that drips onto the wall can turn into a damp complaint, so it’s worth checking.

Why act early in Hammerwood
Sealant won’t clear a blocked downpipe. We look at what’s really happening and point you to the right trade if needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hammerwood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Common problems we fix in Hammerwood
Gutter joints depend on seals that wear out. Sun and cold make the gutter expand and contract, and old seals crack or slip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Dripping gutter ends
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sackville School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Questions from Hammerwood
Will you come out to Hammerwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Dormans station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do you install new fascias or gutters?
That’s not something we do. Our work is sealing joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal gaps in fascias and soffits?
Yes. We seal open joints along fascias and soffits in a matching colour.
What the job involves on each surface
Roofline trims
Trim joints are cut out and resealed suited to the material.
Soffit joints
Soffit joints are sealed in a colour to suit.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not lean ladders against the gutter itself
- Get a dropping gutter looked at quickly
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
Leave the new sealant to cure as we advise and avoid disturbing it.
A leaking garage frame lets water reach stored items. Resealing the frame is a quick job while the frame is sound.
