Gutter Sealing in Hawkinge
Problem with your gutter and fascia joints in Hawkinge? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
How we handle gutter sealing in Hawkinge
Gutter and fascia replacement is not our trade, and nor is roofing. Sealant fixes joints; it will not fix a broken bracket, a cracked section or a blocked downpipe. Common call-outs are for old gutter sealant that has let go and dripping gutter ends, on roofline trims, gutter joints and uPVC fascias.
In and around Hawkinge, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Check fascia and soffit joints for gaps
- Deal with a drip before winter
- Don’t lean ladders against the gutter itself
Look at fascia and trim joints when you are checking the gutters. Splits are easier to seal early.
The sooner a gutter leak is sealed, the less water reaches the wall. We will let you know if the gutter needs more than sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Gutter joints
A gutter joint has to cope with movement and standing water. A gutter sealant made for the job holds best.
Roofline trims
Roofline trims rely on sealant at their joints. Split sealant lets water in.
Gutter sealing in Hawkinge: local notes
Hawkinge is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on gutter, fascia and roofline joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Folkestone West station change hands often, and a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Hawkinge is about 2 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. Hawkinge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Hawkinge among them. Chelmsford is on our list too, about 52 miles from Hawkinge.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. 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 Hawkinge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree which joints need sealing.
- Each joint is cleaned and any old sealant removed.
- The joints are dried.
- We apply exterior or gutter sealant and finish it neatly.
- The joints are checked once sealed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Signs you need gutter sealing in Hawkinge
Roofline sealant ages in sun and rain. It hardens, shrinks and splits after some years.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stop ends leaking at the end of a run
- Quick sealant fixes on gutters that didn’t last
- Wet patches on the wall under a gutter joint
- Open joints in fascias and soffits
Managing a site like The Churchill School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

- Fascias that need replacing
- Roof leaks, slipped tiles or failed flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Brackets that have snapped or loosened

Hawkinge questions
Does living near the coast affect gutter sealing in Hawkinge?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Hawkinge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you clean gutters?
We clear what’s around the joints we work on. Full gutter cleaning is a separate job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can sealant stop a sagging gutter leaking?
It won’t last. The movement opens the joint again, so the fall and brackets need sorting first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you fit new guttering?
No. We seal joints and replacement is a job for an installer.
